This update release provides new features, enhancements and several bugfixes.
Most important change: For the taxonomic species identification Kraken has been replaced by a combined Mash/ANI approach against RefSeq genomes which resulted in a massively reduced db size, making ASA³P even more eligible for smaller systems!

Features

• Replaced Kraken based kmer taxonomic classification by a Mash lookup / ANI computation approach

Updates & Enhancements

• Updated CARD db to 3.0.7
• Updated VFDB to 2020-04-28
• Updated PubMLST to 2020-04-28
• Improved scaffolding runtime performance
• Added JVM shutdown hook to delete tmp directories
• Fixed a memory leak in scaffolding report creation
• Fixed config strain check regex
• Removed redundand QC mapping index files

This is a patch release improving the -c/--check option in order to pre-check the configuration file.
Config checks and error messages have been improved and streamlined.

This is a patch release fixing a "permission denied" error within the Docker container if an external scratch volume (-s <path>) is not set explicitly.

This is a new version providing new features, enhancements and bugfixes:

Features

• Added an option to skip characterization/comparative analysis steps
• Enhanced the Docker shell script (asap-docker.sh) (more options, use user:group file ownerships)
• Replaced RDP 16S db by SILVA
• Added classification of all detected and valid 16S sequences in taxonomic classification
• Added a 'debug' option for better on-site/remote debugging

Updates & Enhancements

• Updated PubMLST to 2019-10-02
• Updated CARD db to 3.0.5 and RGI to 5.1.0
• Updated VFDB to 2019-10-02
• Discarded unnecessary dependencies from Docker image
• Applied several bugfixes and minor improvements to report pages

As the ASA³P directory (databases & 3rd party tools) is too big to upload it on GitHub, we provide them on our own servers. Download URLs for all necessary files are given in the readme: https://github.com/oschwengers/asap#availability

This is a patch release fixing some minor issues and provide some minor enhancements:
