The only real issue that is annoying me (as a consed user) is how consed deals with consensus generation. That is especially problematic with refguided assemblies using Illumina/454 reads, where there is the reference sequence always representing the consensus; there's no new consensus generation after removal of reference sequence ... > > - Is there a way to display the IUPc, UNSc, SRMc, WRMc, etc. tags in > consed?

The more tags you have the slower gets gap4 ... the gap5 is far from being stable, even the assembly file format is subject to change. But I do agree with Bastien: YippiYeah! I have played around with commercial software like CLC Genomics WB and Lasergene's DNAStar, but none of them fits our needs of "finishing a sequencing project". So am eagerly waiting for gap5 too... Tools like hawkeye and/or eagleview are somewhat helper applications for the finishing process, we are sporadically using hawkeye ... hth, Sven > I would be very pleased if you would share your experience in that > matter... > > Best, > > Lionel > > > -- > You have received this mail because you are subscribed to the mira_talk > mailing list.
