aRefers to the number of singletons produced by the Newbler v2.3 assembly. These singletons were further assembled with CAP3, resulting in CAP3 contigs and CAP3 singlets (reads still left as singletons); bCAP3 assembly of Newbler singletons was not performed for P. hawaiensis or G. bimaculatus assemblies; cBLASTx performed against the NCBI non-redundant database (nr) with E-value cutoff of e−5, unless otherwise specified; dBLASTx performed against RefSeq Protein database; ePercent isotigs with BLAST hits calculated by dividing by the number of isogroups, because in this case, only one isotig per isogroup was used for BLAST analysis; fTotal number of CAP3 singlets following CAP3 assembly of Newbler v2.3 singletons was 84 388; gTotal number of CAP3 singlets following CAP3 assembly of Newbler v2.5 singletons was 85 053.
