BUSCO Scores for Genome Assembly Comparison

BUSCO scores for the current assembly as compared to the annotations for the recent assembly of the genome. The dataset is a 5.5 KB XLS file authored by Felicia F. Wang and last updated on April 29, 2026. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on the figshare platform.

Use Cases

• Benchmark genome assembly completeness based on BUSCO scores mentioned in the description
• Compare the quality of a current assembly against a recent reference based on the described comparison
• Assess the presence of conserved orthologs in genome assemblies based on the BUSCO metric

Strengths

• Dataset is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.
• Has a clear, permissive license (CC-BY-4.0) for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
