	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>SKESA is a DeBruijn graph-based de-novo assembler designed for assembling reads of microbial genomes sequenced using Illumina. Comparison with SPAdes and MegaHit shows that SKESA produces assemblies that have high sequence quality and contiguity, handles low-level contamination in reads, is fast, and produces an identical assembly for the same input when assembled multiple times with the same or different compute resources. </span></p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>QUAST-LG is an extension of&nbsp;<a href="http://cab.spbu.ru/software/quast/">QUAST</a>&nbsp;intended for evaluating large-scale genome assemblies (up to mammalian-size).</p>
<p>QUAST-LG&nbsp;is included in the QUAST&nbsp; package starting from version 5.0.0 (<a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/quast/files/latest/download?source=files">download the latest release</a>). Run QUAST as usual and do not forget to add&nbsp;<span>‐‐large</span>&nbsp;option to your command!</p>
<p>A short list of the new features (see&nbsp;<a href="http://cab.spbu.ru/files/quast/latest-docs/CHANGES.txt">CHANGES</a>&nbsp;for all):</p>
<ul>
<li>Significant speedup achieved by both&nbsp;use of new fast aligner (<a href="https://github.com/lh3/minimap2">minimap2</a>) and the refactoring of alignment analyzing&nbsp;modules</li>
<li>New k-mer-based completeness and correctness metrics</li>
<li>BUSCO added for enhanced reference-free analysis</li>
<li>The concept of upper bound&nbsp;assembly (theoretical limits on the assembly&nbsp;completeness and&nbsp;contiguity for a given genome and set of reads)</li>
