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 andin 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.
