Abstract: Based on recent versions of the genomes that are publicly available within the scienti c community, we have decided to investigate the quality of such existing genomes. The aim of this analysis is to evaluate current methods and techniques to measure and compare the quality of assemblies and annotations, considering genomes from di erent origins and evolutionary lineages (both from model and non-model organisms). The aim of this study is to further evaluate the consequences of the use of a poor-quality genome and avoid inaccuracies which are intrinsic in order to minimize the range of error in research. Moreover, we want to assess if by using genomes with different quality standards in research, we can optimize results. The above-mentioned questions justify the development for new methods and techniques which will help us control the quality of genomes and improve investigation in the future. The main objective of this project is the identi cation of varied techniques using a range of existing software technologies to automate and make the quality control of genomes more accessible for researchers, as well as the possibility to compare genome quality as a result.
