Summary: use transcripts to assess a de novo assembly

"Error: no local variable "counter" was set." is not a number.

Description

Simple script that parses the output of a BLAT run of a transcriptome vs. a genome assembly. It returns:

  1. Percentage of transcripts with a BLAT entry
  2. Total % coverage of all positions
  3. Number of transcripts mapping to a single contig/scaffold
  4. Average number of contigs/scaffolds mapped per mapped transcript

It also reports transcripts that show irregular alignments.

Useful for comparing genome assemblies, and reporting how well a particular assembly encapsulates the coding sequence of the genome.
