Often, genome assembly projects have illumina whole genome sequencing reads available for the assembled individual.
The k-mer spectrum of this read set can be used for independently evaluating assembly quality without the need of a high quality reference.
Merqury provides a set of tools for this purpose.
See which versions are available:
$ module avail merqury
Load one version into your environment and run it:
$ module load merqury $ merqury.sh
