General features of the nuclear genome of Oopsacas minuta, compared to that of other sponges. a The assembled genome of O. minuta is one of the smallest so far described in sponges. b The O. minuta genome has fewer predicted proteins and is slightly more compact than the genomes of Amphimedon queenslandica and Ephydatia muelleri, both demosponges, which is the sister group to hexactinellids. Other genomic features are available in Additional file 2: Table S5, Table S6, and Fig. S5
