Plot of single copy BUSCO score versus the log value of N50 length divided by contig (or scaffold) count for the assemblies generated as part of this study, and for all genomes of nematodes that parasitize animals as adults available from WormBase ParaSite
Dotted lines indicate the cutoff for “tier 1” genome status sensu the International Helminth Genomes Consortium (i.e., >85% single copy BUSCO score and >1.6 log value for the contiguity metric). A key to symbolic designations is provided at top left. The Nematoda ortholog database (n = 3,131 BUSCOs) was used for comparison.
