Dear all, I have started a mapping job with mira a couple of days ago and until now it is not finished. I am wondering how long it will take. From the manual I understood that a job like this would be finished in max two days. Here are the details: The computer is a Intel Xeon 2.13 GHz with 8 cores and 12 GB RAM. The mira version is 3.2.0rc2 64 bit. the job was started with: ./mira --project=K12mut --fastq --job=mapping,genome,accurate,solexa -AS:nop=1 -SB:lsd=yes:bsn=K12_wt:bft=gbf:bbq=30 >&log_assembly.txt & #####part of the log file for the detailed data of the reads and the backbone: Loading backbone from GBF file: K12mut_backbone_in.gbf Done. Adding sequences as backbones ... done. Postprocessing backbone (this may take a while) 1 to process U00096_bb 4639675 Localtime: Fri Jul 30 14:14:51 2010 Seeing strain 1: "K12_wt" Generated 1 unique strain ids for 1 reads. Strain "default" has 0 reads. Strain "K12_wt" has 1 reads. Loading data (Solexa) from FASTQ files, Counting sequences in FASTQ file: found 6826967 sequences. Solexa will load 6826967 reads. Longest Sanger: 0 Longest 454: 0 Longest PacBio: 0 Longest Solexa: 38 Longest Solid: 0 Longest overall: 38 Total reads to load: 6826967 #### the last statistics: Contig id: 1 Contig length: 4640360 Sanger 454 PacBio Solexa Solid Num. reads 1 0 0 82089 0 100% merged reads - - - 5399486 0 Avg. read len 4639675 0 0 36 0 Max. coverage 1 0 0 122 0 Avg. coverage 1.000 0.000 0.000 43.031 0.000 Max. contig coverage: 123 Avg. contig coverage: 44.031 Consensus contains: A: 1142233 C: 1179561 G: 1176933 T: 1140987 N: 0 IUPAC: 0 Funny: 0 *: 646 GC content: 50.790% #### This is the last step: Gogo: mapping all 4 errors Localtime: Wed Aug 4 13:03:29 2010 Gogo: mapping all 5 errors Localtime: Thu Aug 5 06:39:02 2010 So it needed ~17h for this step. Is there something wrong with the data? How many steps should still come? best regards Christian
