[edit] What it does

QUAST = QUality ASsessment Tool. The tool evaluates genome assemblies by computing various metrics.

If you have one or multiple genome assemblies, you can assess their quality with Quast. It works with or without reference genome. If you are new to Quast, start by reading its `manual page <http://quast.bioinf.spbau.ru/manual.html>`_.

[edit] Using Quast without reference

Without reference Quast can calculate a number of assembly related-metrics but cannot provide any information about potential misassemblies, inversions, translocations, etc. Suppose you have three assemblies produced by Unicycler corresponding to three different antibiotic treatments *car*, *pit*, and *cef* (these stand for carbenicillin, piperacillin, and cefsulodin, respectively). Evaluating them without reference will produce the following Quast outputs:

The tab delimited Quast report will contain the following information::
