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)

I have used the following assemblers

• Spades (v. 3.10.1)
• CANU (v. 1.6)
• Unicycler (v. v0.4.1)
• Miniasm (v. 0.2-r137-dirty)

I have used the following mappers

• minimap (v. 0.2-r124-dirty)
• bwa (v. 0.7.12-r1039)

I have used the following polishing tools

• Racon (v. not available)
• Pilon (v. 1.18)
• Nanopolish (v. 0.8.3)

I have used the following tools to assess genome assembly characteristics

• ANI.pl (https://github.com/chjp/ANI)
• CheckM (v. 1.0.7)
• Prokka (v. 1.12)
• QUAST (v. 2.3)
• mummer (v. not available)

If you have any ideas or superior tools we have missed please let us know in the comments.

We describe a new method for predicting the ancestral order and orientation of those intervals from their observed adjacencies in modern species. We combine the results from this method with data from chromosome painting experiments to produce a map of an early mammalian genome that accounts for 96.8% of the available human genome sequence data. The precision is further increased by mapping inversions as small as 31 bp. Analysis of the predicted evolutionary breakpoints in the human lineage confirms certain published observations but disagrees with others. Although only a few mammalian genomes are currently sequenced to high precision, our theoretical analyses and computer simulations indicate that our results are reasonably accurate and that they will become highly accurate in the foreseeable future. Our methods were developed as part of a project to reconstruct the genome sequence of the last ancestor of human, dogs, and most other placental mammals;

• Inchworm assembles the RNA-seq data into the unique sequences of transcripts, often generating full-length transcripts for a dominant isoform, but then reports just the unique portions of alternatively spliced transcripts.

• Chrysalis clusters the Inchworm contigs into clusters and constructs complete de Bruijn graphs for each cluster. Each cluster represents the full transcriptonal complexity for a given gene (or sets of genes that share sequences in common). Chrysalis then partitions the full read set among these disjoint graphs.

• Butterfly then processes the individual graphs in parallel, tracing the paths that reads and pairs of reads take within the graph, ultimately reporting full-length transcripts for alternatively spliced isoforms, and teasing apart transcripts that corresponds to paralogous genes.
