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)
