*2.2. Formatting the Genomic Data of Strawberries*

The GDS cover the genomic sequences from eight strawberry species from GDR (Genome Database for Rosaceae) and Kazusa (Strawberry GARDEN). *Fragaria nipponica*, *Fragaria viridis*, and *Fragaria orientalis* each has one version of the genome data, *Fragaria* ×*ananassa*, *Fragaria nilgerrensis*, *Fragaria nubicola*, and *Fragaria iinumae* has two, and *Fragaria vesca* has three. Only the latest version of genome data was used for downstream analysis. One can then download the genome sequence and protein sequence and gene annotations of the eight strawberry species which were analyzed and classified well. Specifically, the gene and protein IDs of *Fragaria* x*ananassa* and *Fragaria vesca* remain the same, and those of *Fragaria iinumae*, *Fragaria nilgerrensis*, *Fragaria nipponica*, *Fragaria nubicola*, and *Fragaria orientalis* should start with "FII\_", "FNil\_", "FNI\_", "FNub\_", and "FOR\_" before the data can be analyzed by different bioinformatics software.
