We annotated 25,574 protein-coding genes [of the coffee
genome] (table S6), 92 microRNA
precursors, and 2573 organellar-to-nuclear genome transfers. Transposable
elements account for ~50% of the genome , of which ~85% are long terminal
repeat (LTR) retrotransposons. Large-scale comparison between Coffea. canephora LTR
retrotransposons and those of reference plant genomes shows outstanding
conservation of several Copia groups across distantly related genomes,
suggesting that horizontal mobile element transfers may be more frequent than
generally recognized (5–8).
