MetaQUAST: оценка качества метагеномных сборок

 

Наша лоборатория переехала в другой университет, и у нас теперь новый сайт.

Новую страница располагается здесь: MetaQUAST

 

 

MetaQUAST evaluates and compares metagenome assemblies based on alignments to close references. It is based on QUAST genome quality assessment tool, but addresses features specific for metagenome datasets:
  • Huge species diversity – the tool accepts multiple references and makes multi-genome tables and plots, inlcuding Krona charts.
  • Commonly unknown species content – the tool automatically detects and downloads reference sequences from NCBI.
  • Presence of highly relative genomes – the tool detects chimeric contigs and reports "interspecies misassemblies" in addition to the regular interspecies assembly errors types. 
 
MetaQUAST can be fed with multiple assemblies, thus is perfect for comparison.
