Hello Bastien,

I am using mira 4.0 right now.
And I am making an assembly setting the template_size = 100 2000 autorefine
and segment_placement = ---> <---

After all, the result maf file just report the template_size same as my
input manifest file:
@Version        2       0
@Program        MIRALIB
@ReadGroup
@RG     name    SomeHiseqReadsIGotFromTheLab
@RG     ID      1
@RG     technology      Solexa
@RG     strainname      Monkey
@RG     templatesize    100     2000
@RG     segmentplacement        FR
@RG     segmentnaming   solexa
@EndReadGroup

How can I know the templatesize after refine? Thanks.

Alan
