Assessment of Next-Generation Sequence Assembly

Although there are different measures to evaluate assembler performance and assembly quality, developing assessment tools that incorporate present measures and defining new ones for the various assembly types (genomic, transcriptomic, and metagenomic) still remain a major challenge in the next-generation environment. In this chapter, we will introduce different approaches for assembly assessment as well as discuss upcoming assembly evaluation studies/tools.
