However, many assembled nuclear chromosomes are often contaminated by organelle genomes, which will mislead bioinformatic analysis, and genomic and transcriptomic data interpretation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To address this issue, we developed a tool named Chlomito, aiming at precise identification and elimination of organelle genome contamination from nuclear genome assembly. Compared to conventional approaches, Chlomito utilized new metrics, alignment length coverage ratio (ALCR) and sequencing depth ratio (SDR), thereby effectively distinguishing true organelle genome sequences from those transferred into nuclear genomes via horizontal gene transfer (HGT).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The accuracy of Chlomito was tested using sequencing data from Plum, Mango and\n                      <jats:italic>Arabidopsis<\/jats:italic>\n                      . The results confirmed that Chlomito can accurately detect contigs originating from the organelle genomes, and the identified contigs covered most regions of the organelle reference genomes, demonstrating efficiency and precision of Chlomito.
