Hi Robin,
I'm teaching a practical in de novo genome assembly in a workshop for PhD
students and post-docs. They are assembling the same dataset using different
assemblers, among which MIRA, comparing the results and discussing the
different solutions. I cannot really see how this wouldn't be considered as
"academic". And, in addition, as Bob and John put it, mira is easy to use, and
a very interesting and clever tool.
Would you mind developing why you consider MIRA as a non-academic tool?
Regards,
Lionel
