Genome Completeness Assessment with BUSCO

Constructing a high-quality genome assembly is a complex and challenging process. De novo assemblies often suffer from fragmentation, gaps, and various types of assembly errors, which can compromise downstream analyses. Ensuring the completeness and accuracy of these assemblies is essential for robust biological insights. This is where BUSCO (Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs) comes into play. BUSCO is a widely used

Population Structure Analysis

Population Structure Analysis with OmicsBox

Population structure analysis is a statistical method used to infer the genetic composition and ancestry proportions of individuals within a population. This type of study allows us to understand genetic variation within and between populations. Building admixture models provides insights into evolutionary processes, migration patterns, and even disease susceptibility. ADMIXTURE, now available in OmicsBox, makes this analysis easier by providing a

Demultiplexing with Cutadapt in OmicsBox

Barcoding and demultiplexing in high-throughput sequencing experiments Barcoding, or indexing, is a widely used strategy in high-throughput sequencing experiments. This method enables the multiplexing of numerous samples in a single sequencing run by adding a unique DNA sequence to each sample before sequencing. During sequencing, the barcodes are read along with the DNA fragments, allowing the identification and split of
