QUAST 5.2.0
QUAST 5.2.0 includes everything included in the 5.1.0 release candidate (which was never fully released) and many additional novelties and bug fixes. See the full list of changes here.
Note: v.5.2.0 is supposedly the last release with Python 2 support and many legacy code.
The most notable features/changes:
- Core alignment changes (might affect all alignment-based metrics!): embedded minimap2 aligner updated to 2.24, default alignment parameters slightly changed
- New metrics: auN, auNG, auNA, auNGA (areas under the Nx/NGx/NAx/NGx curves), for more detail see the Heng Li blog post
- New options:
--local-mis-size
for setting minimal size of a local misassembly (default changed from 85 to 200) and--report-all-metrics
for keeping all quality metrics (even not applicable for the run) in the main report - Substantial speed up of the Best-Set-Selection algorithm (first introduced in the QUAST-LG paper)
