Hi Sven, the closest thing to assembly of environmental samples I ever did was assembly of EST from several different strains, but there I knew which read came from which strain. > A while ago I assembled a dataset like this: > > -job=denovo,genome,normal,sanger,454 -highlyrepetitive \ > -LR:mxti=yes -SK:not=30:mnr=yes -GE:kcim=yes \ > -AS:sd=yes:mrl=50 -CL:pvlc=yes:bsqc=yes \ > 454_SETTINGS -ED:ace=yes > Results were OK ... Except -AS:sd and -GE:kcim are eating away lots of memory for probably little benefit in such a project, no further comment from my side. There MAY be other things one has to take care of, but then there not immediately obvious to me. B. -- You have received this mail because you are subscribed to the mira_talk mailing list.
