Hi Bastien thanks a lot for the new links. The usage is clear in the manual. I am currently working with MIRA V3rc1 (aka 2.9.48). so the ssaha2 is already being used in this version or do I have to install the one you have suggested ? Regardless of your comment that the paired-end section would not help, it did help a bit in that I realised that I needed to have qual and traceinfo files for my sanger data, which is essentially the ends of the fosmids we sequenced. I have only fasta files (no qual etc) ,can I use dummy qual files ? ( say with a constant quality score of say 40). Regarding the traceinfo files I have managed to cobble up the following for the fosmid ends...here is a sample... The sequences in the following example are a mate-pair ( as identified by the template_id ). The clip_vector settings are 0, as all clipping has been done before and there is no vector to clip in these sequences. I hope the format is alright. <?xml version="1.0"?> <trace_volume> <trace> <template_id>AFD0ABA49ZH06</template_id> <trace_name>AFD0ABA49ZH06FM1</trace_name> <clip_vector_left>0</clip_vector_left> <clip_vector_right>0</clip_vector_right> <insert_size>35000</insert_size> <insert_stdev>7000</insert_stdev> <trace_end>F</trace_end> </trace> <trace> <template_id>AFD0ABA49ZH06</template_id> <trace_name>AFD0ABA49ZH06RM1</trace_name> <clip_vector_left>0</clip_vector_left> <clip_vector_right>0</clip_vector_right> <insert_size>35000</insert_size> <insert_stdev>7000</insert_stdev> <trace_end>R</trace_end> </trace> </trace_volume> cheers Rohit On Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 11:39 AM, Bastien Chevreux <bach@xxxxxxxxxxxx>wrote: > On Mittwoch 23 Dezember 2009 Bastien Chevreux wrote: > > Does the section "Extracting paired-end data from SFF" of the new 454 > usage > > manual (http://mira-assembler.sourceforge.net/docs/mira_454.html) help? > > Vacations!
