BUSCO

Supported Tool

BUSCO assesses genome assembly and annotation completeness with Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs.

Description

BUSCO v2 provides quantitative measures for the assessment of genome assembly, gene set, and transcriptome completeness, based on evolutionarily-informed expectations of gene content from near-universal single-copy orthologs selected from OrthoDB v9.

The MultiQC module parses the short_summary_[samplename].txt files and plots the proportion of BUSCO types found. MultiQC has been tested with output from BUSCO v1.22 - v2.
