Raw read files contain raw nanopore reads in FASTA format used to determine rDNA unit size for the Brown snake and Tiger snake (kindly provided by Dr Richard Edwards of The University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia).
Con_reads files contain raw nanopore reads individual rDNA unit sequences were extracted from to generate the consensus sequence in FASTA format for members of the Squamata lineage (Brown snake, Tiger snake).
Con_indiv_units files contain individual rDNA unit sequences extracted from nanopore reads used to generate the consensus sequence in FASTA format for members of the Squamata lineage (Brown snake, Tiger snake)
Consensus_alignment files contains the alignement output in .geneious format.
Annotated_Consensus files contains the annotated consensus sequences in .geneious format.
align_Tigersnake/Brownsnake_con_with_ref file contains the rDNA consensus sequence aligned to a reference sequence (Genbank accession X02995).
Average rDNA unit size was generated for each species using the included excel spreadsheets.
