Busco transcriptome assembly assessment ! would you please suggest the assessment or anything about assembly quality in non-model organisms?

working with the non-model plant, which has no reference genome for even closely related species, I used Busco Eukaryota completeness=80.0%, Busco Viridiolplants_db completness=60%, Busco Eudicots completeness = 50.0%. which one should I consider and if there is specific reasons, if any. And should I do the exact same steps for comparative transcriptomics? what is must for comparative study on PUBLIC data?

FUSTr is a tool for finding genes in transcriptomic datasets under strong positive selection that automatically detects isoform designation patterns in transcriptome assemblies to maximize phylogenetic independence in downstream analysis. When applied to previously studied spider toxin families as well as simulated data, FUSTr successfully grouped...

A decade ago, de novo transcriptome assembly evolved as a versatile and powerful approach to make evolutionary assumptions, analyse gene expression, and annotate novel transcripts, in particular, for non‐model organisms lacking an appropriate reference genome. Various tools have been developed to generate a transcriptome assembly, and even more com...

Low-coverage whole genome shotgun sequencing (or genome skimming) has emerged as a cost-effective method for acquiring genomic data in non-model organisms. This method provides sequence information on chloroplast genome (cpDNA), mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) and nuclear ribosomal regions (rDNA), which are over-represented within cells. However, nume...
