Hi Cristina,

From past discussions on this mailing list I recall that if you are running
multi-threaded, then MIRA's results are not always reproducible. They would
usually be similar though.

Running single-threaded ought to be more reproducible - Bastien would know
if there are also random effects here as well.

Hi,

I have a doubt about the method to select the seed.

I repeated an assembly with the same data and the same parameters and I
got a slightly different
assembly.

Does anybody known if MIRA uses any random function (like rand() or
srand() ) to fix the seed to start the kmer overlap between reads?


Thanks in advance,

Cristina
