QUAST-LG is included in the QUAST  package starting from version 5.0.0 (download the latest release). Run QUAST as usual and do not forget to add ‐‐large option to your command!

A short list of the new features (see CHANGES for all):

  • Significant speedup achieved by both use of new fast aligner (minimap2) and the refactoring of alignment analyzing modules
  • New k-mer-based completeness and correctness metrics
  • BUSCO added for enhanced reference-free analysis
  • The concept of upper bound assembly (theoretical limits on the assembly completeness and contiguity for a given genome and set of reads)
