Table providing the total size of each transcriptomes, the total number of contigs and the N50. The reliability of the two glass sponge transcriptomes (A. vastus and O. minuta) was compared to transcriptomes of sponges belonging to the other lineages (Demospongiae, Homoscleromorpha and Calcarea) by researching the 248 core eukaryotic genes (CEGs) previously defined as a proxy of genomes and transcriptomes completeness.
