yes, I had a similar thought, as I'm currently preparing my data for BUSCO single-copy identification. This will be needed for the upcoming amalgkit csca
as well.
amalgkit needs reference transcriptomes anyway, so BUSCO runs could be included as a part of an amalgkit subcommand. It's difficult to do so with OrthoFinder because its computational time should increase exponentially with the number of species. However, BUSCO scales only linearly with species, so it's doable.
@Hego-CCTB I will take care of it if you don't have time.
I think you have a much better idea on how to go about this, please take over!

Typically, more single-copy genes can be detected with BUSCO compared with Orthofinder. It doesn't hold the highest priority, but the BUSCO input for cstmm could be a future improvement.
