Yeah, right, RTFM (although it's long).It was much better using the parameters in the right order (placing my pet specific switches after the --job one):
mira --project=x -fasta -job=denovo,genome,454,normal -OUT:ora=yes - GE:not=4 -AS:urd=no > assembly_log.txt

Hi mira-friends I tried to tweak the parameters a little bit, because I'm getting very strange results with one of my assemblies. It seems that mira is unwilling to parse my parameters (darn). My project: - sequencing a complete bacterial genome (~2Mb) - half a 454 Titanium run (~100Mb of data, not quite as much as advertised), plus 2 lanes from a titration run. - about 50k paired-end mates (experimental 20kb library) The bacteria that I'm sequencing experiences some kind of weird alternate replication in late growth-phase, leading to an (at least) 2 fold amplification of about 10-20% of the genome, which may impair the uniform read distribution (I tried with urd:yes, and yielded strange results). Here is some parts of the assembly_log: <code> -SB:sbuip is 3, but must be no more than 2. Setting to 2 </code> Didn't say anything about strain or backbone... strange, but shouldn't cause any problems... <code>Parsing parameters: --project=BAnh1NrPeM01 -fasta -OUT:ora=yes - GE:not=4-AS:urd=no --job=denovo,genome,454,normal </code> Fine, that's what I want. But then: <code> Parameter settings seen for: Sanger data (also common parameters), 454 data Used parameter settings: General (-GE): Project name in (proin) : BAnh1NrPeM01 Project name out (proout) : BAnh1NrPeM01 Number of threads (not) : 2 </code> Uh? I said 4... But it's still OK... <code> Assembly options (-AS): [...] Automatic repeat detection (ard) : yes [...] Use uniform read distribution (urd) : yes Start in pass (urdsip) : 5 Cutoff multiplier (urdcm) : [san] 1.5 [454] 1.5 </code> Uh??? I asked not to use urd... Any suggestion? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for your help... I might come here again to discuss my weird assembly. Lionel Uppsala University
