quast online with Winfy

We have hosted the application quast in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about quast:

QUAST performs fast and convenient quality evaluation and comparison of genome assemblies.

QUAST computes a number of well-known metrics, including contig accuracy, number of genes discovered, N50, and others, as well as introducing new ones, like NA50 (see details in the paper and in the manual). A comprehensive analysis results in summary tables (in plain text, tab-separated and LaTeX formats) and colorful plots. The tool also produces web-based reports condensing all information in one easy to navigate file.

QUAST has an intuitive command-line interface and a detailed manual to help users run it and understand its output. Furthermore, the Lab started a Beta version of web-QUAST at http: //quast.bioinf.spbau.ru/ which makes quality evaluation even more simple.

QUAST and MetaQUAST (extension for metagenomic assemblies) papers were published in Bioinformatics.

Features:

• web-based reports, tables in plain txt, tab-separated and LaTeX formats
• colorful plots and histograms
• quality evaluation with and without a reference genome
• quality evaluation of metagenomic assemblies
• interactive contig browser
