The draft assembly size of Crassostrea gasar is 506 Mbp, and of Crassostrea rhizophorae is 584 Mbp with scaffolds N50 of 11,3 Mbp and 4,9 Mbp, respectively. The general masked bases by RepeatMasker in both genomes were highly similar using different datasets. The masked bases varied from 9.41% in C. gasar to 10.05% in C. rhizophorae and 42.85% in C. gasar to 44.44% in C. rhizophorae using Dfam and RepeatModeler datasets, respectively. Functional annotation with eggNog resulted in 34,693 annotated proteins in C. rhizophorae and 26,328 in C. gasar. BUSCO analysis shows that almost 99% of genes (5,295) are complete in relation to the mollusk orthologous genes dataset (mollusca_odb10).
