The "CHANGES.txt" is your friend there :-) Depending on which version he used (I'd guess 3.2.1), the following fixes will apply when it comes to disk/memory usage: directly after 3.2.1: - for mapping Solexa data, MIRA now reduces unnecessary mapping attempts when no more reads match a contig. This should save a bit of time, especially in projects with lots (>1000) of reference sequences. (3.2.1.2) - assembly of millions of EST/RNASeq now *way* faster. E.g.: 10m Solexa reads (100bp) down from several days to ~1 day. (3.2.1.4) - improved internal handling of invalid overlaps. Effectively slashes memory needed there by a factor of 8 to 10. E.g.: in Solexa transcriptome 10m reads @ 100bp with quite some ploidy, uses just ~1 GiB instead of ~11.5 GiB (3.2.1.7) - fixed memory allocation bug which led MIRA to perform a couple of more allocations than necessary. - new routines to choose and trim down SKIM hits. Save tremendous amount of disk and memory for high coverage projects (coverages >50x), especially when coverages reach >100x. (3.2.1.9) - SKIM now uses intermediate result purging, tremendously reducing size of result files in large assemblies. - bugfix: SKIM sometimes saved wrong hits when there were effectively none - bugfix: large increases of virtual memory needs between the passes have been cut down. (3.2.1.11) - bugfix for regression in 3.2.1.10: in mapping mode, SKIM made too many comparisons, in the order of a de-novo assembly (3.2.1.13) - more efficient disk I/O for hash statistics analysis B.
