  1. The number of scaffolds for which taxonomic affiliation was confirmed by phylogenetic analysis (Additional data files 1 and 2) is indicated in brackets. The taxonomic affiliation of the largest scaffold is indicated by an asterisk. The groups for which the anchor gene has no representative in the GenBank database are indicated by x.
