The raw contigs FASTA file, the GTF annotations and the peptide sequences were downloaded from: https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/all/GCF/000/331/145/GCF_000331145.1_ASM33114v1/ The hard-masked FASTA file was produced by Perl conversion of the soft-masked sequences from NCBI with the following: perl -lne 'if(!/^>/){ s/[a-z]/N/g } print' Cicer_arietinum.ASM33114v1.GCF_000331145.1.RefSeq.dna.toplevel.fa > Cicer_arietinum.ASM33114v1.GCF_000331145.1.RefSeq.dna_rm.genome.fa The rest of files were produced by RSAT-Tools to install this genome.
