Dear Colleagues,
I am working on a project to assemble a bacterial genome using a combination of Solexa and SOLiD technologies. The data is too large for our limited memory computers to handle, so I'm trying divide and conquer. I've split the reads into smaller pieces that can all be assembled by mira, and now I would like to combine the results. One possibility would be to combine the contigs and debris sequences and qualities score into one pair of files, and run mira on those, but that would preclude any reassemblies based on the new information. Another possibility would be assemble one subset, and map each additional subset onto it. A third possibility would be to combine two assemblies together, but I didn't see any documentation that such an operation was possible. Has anyone tried any of these approaches? If so, what successes or failures did you have?

   Thanks. --Bob
