pyTransRate: reference-free quality assessment of de novo transcriptome assemblies with current aligners and quantifiers
Summary: The original software TransRate scores a de novo transcriptome assembly by mapping the reads it was built from back to it, with no reference required. Its last release (1.0.3) depends on Ruby...
