Now we are doing the denovo assembly of marine organism with whole genome sequcing using sequel system. As we all know, the DNA extraction from marine organism is very difficult because of pollution and degradation. So is there any way to evaluate the genome size, heterozygus rate or genome repeat with DNA sequel data?

Use multipass pacbio reads for self error correction and Kmer counting.
First try filtering out the multipass reads, and using those for kmer counting and self error correction.
Make sure to remove any mitochondrial/symbionts reads before doing the kmer counting. (Identify and complete the respective genome(s) first).
Get some good quality PCR-free illumina 2x250 reads or (BGIseq data if it works in your hands) and use it to confirm the kmer counting/self error correction/etc.
Short reads are very helpful for getting the contaminant(s)/symbionts genomes to a good draft stage and for filtering them out from the main dataset.
Usually such approach has to be done in the iterative fashion (with increasing amount of the input data after each iteration).

While a kmer analysis is going to be difficult with the raw pacbio data, it is possible to estimate the (effective) genome size from overlap statistics, either for the raw reads, the error corrected preassembled reads or by mapping the raw reads to the assembled contigs.
Run an initial assembly using a small seed read length, then plot the preassembled read overlap histogram.

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...-
