SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Assemble genomes/metagenomes and produce assembly QC artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Select the appropriate assembler based on read type (e.g., SPAdes for short reads, Flye for long reads) and genome size.
  • Run assembly with resource-aware settings and monitor for quality gates.
  • Run QUAST/MetaQUAST and summarize metrics to produce QC reports.

Quick Start

Run an appropriate assembler for your read type (SPAdes for short reads, Flye for long reads), then execute QUAST/MetaQUAST to produce QC reports.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate genome assembly and QC for metagenome reads?

Automate genome assembly and QC by running SPAdes for short reads or Flye for long reads, then executing QUAST or MetaQUAST to generate contig metrics and QC reports in the results directory.

Does this assembly QC workflow support hybrid long-read and short-read datasets?

Yes, this assembly QC workflow supports hybrid long-read and short-read datasets by selecting the appropriate assembler, such as Flye or SPAdes, based on the input read type and genome size.

What do I need to run metagenome assembly and generate QUAST reports?

To run metagenome assembly and generate QUAST reports, you need a Pixi or conda-enabled environment, input reads in fastq.gz format, and a supported assembler like SPAdes or Flye.

When should I use MetaQUAST instead of QUAST for metagenome assembly evaluation?

Use MetaQUAST instead of QUAST for metagenome assembly evaluation when assessing bacterial, archaeal, or viral metagenome assemblies to produce specialized reference-based contig metrics and QC reports.

Can I assemble bacterial and viral isolate genomes with this automated pipeline?

Yes, you can assemble bacterial, archaeal, and viral isolate genomes with this automated pipeline, which handles isolate assemblies alongside metagenomes using resource-aware settings and quality gates.

Why does my metagenome assembly fail quality gates during automated QC?

Metagenome assembly quality gates may fail due to insufficient input read quality in fastq.gz files, inappropriate assembler selection for your read type, or inadequate resource allocation in the Pixi or conda environment.
