BMC Bioinformatics

Table 1 Norgal BLAST output for a subset of the datasets

Organism	Type	Scaffold:Scaffold-length	Identity	Align. length	Ref. length	Bit-score	Best-hit reference
A. melanoleuca	m	scaffold_0:16876	99.54	16181	16805	29438	Ailuropoda melanoleuca mitochondrion
S. japonica	m	scaffold_0:37756	100	35932	37654	66354	Saccharina sp. ye-C12 mitochondrion
P. glaucus	m	scaffold_0:15378	100	7814	15306	14430	Papilio glaucus mitochondrion
A. niger	m	scaffold_0:31289	99.12	9284	31103	16661	Aspergillus niger mitochondrion
P. papatasi	m	scaffold_0:15338	99.54	14927	15557	27180	Phlebotomus papatasi mitochondrion

Note how the best hit for each organisms is always scaffold_0 which is also the longest scaffold in the assembly. A full table of the 10 best hits for each organisms can be found in the Additional file 1: Section S1
