Extended data

Extended Data Fig. 1 Ks distribution of linked alignments of homologous genes.

Ks values estimated from five linked alignments of randomly selected homologous gene pairs between A. duranensis genome and Shitoqi A subgenome a, A. ipaensis genome and Shitoqi B subgenome b, A. duranensis genome and Tifrunner A subgenome c, A. ipaensis genome and Tifrunner B subgenome d. Ks peaks are 0.028, 0.015, 0.014 and 0.01, respectively for Ad-At, Bd-Bt, Ad-At and Bd-Bt.

Extended Data Fig. 2 Comparisons of Ks patterns between Medicago and three groups of peanut orthologs.

Ks patterns of Mt and three groups of Ad (Mt-Ad) orthologs with Ks=0, 0<Ks<0.1, and Ks >=0.1 in Ad-At (Shitoqi) genomes a, Mt-Ad in Ad-At (Tifrunner) genomes b, Mt-At in Ad-At (Shitoqi) genomes c, Mt-At in Ad-At (Tifrunner) genomes d, Mt-Bd in Bd-Bt (Shitoqi) genomes e, Mt-Bd in Bd-Bt (Tifrunner) genomes f, and Mt-Bt in Bd-Bt (Shitoqi) genomes g, and Mt-Bt in Bd-Bt (Tifrunner) genomes h.

Extended Data Fig. 3 K values of colinear and bidirectional best hit LTR homologs between subgenomes.

K distribution patterns between A. duranensis genome and Shitoqi A subgenome a, e, A. duranensis genome and Tifrunner A subgenome b, f, A. ipaensis genome and Shitoqi B subgenome c, g, A. ipaensis genome and Tifrunner B subgenome d, h. The upper 4 subfigures are for LTR homologs with matched regions > 500 bp, and the lower 4 > 1000 bp. Here, similar to the definition of Ks, K is defined as K=−3/4*Ln(1–4(1-p)/3), where p is the identity between colinear and bi-directional-best-hit LTR homologs from peanut subgenomes.
