Hello Mira Users I am trying to assemble the 454 reads using Mira by using following command: mira-3.0.0 mira --project=test --job=denovo,genome,draft,2.GAC.454Reads.fna and I am getting the following error: This is MIRA V3.0.0 (production version). Please cite: Chevreux, B., Wetter, T. and Suhai, S. (1999), Genome Sequence Assembly Using Trace Signals and Additional Sequence Information. Computer Science and Biology: Proceedings of the German Conference on Bioinformatics (GCB) 99, pp. 45-56. Mail general questions to the MIRA talk mailing list: mira_talk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To (un-)subsubcribe the MIRA mailing lists, see: http://www.chevreux.org/mira_mailinglists.html To report bugs or ask for features, please use the new ticketing system at: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mira-assembler/ This ensures that requests don't get lost.
