Score of the mitochondrial assemblies produced using simulated datasets. The Box and Swarm Plot describe the assemblies' scores produced by the tools. The score was calculated based on the mapping statistics of the assembly with the reference mitochondrial genome (Eq. 1). Except for MEANGS, all the other tools generated high-quality mitochondrial assemblies (score > 99). Scores for all the assemblies generated are given in Additional file 2 Table S2
