Authoritative sources for MIRA are my PhD thesis, the article on miraEST in Genome Research 2004 and the MIRA docs. > On the meanwhile, could you please just tell me if MIRA belong to > > -OLC category (overlap/layout/consensus) or > -deBrujin graph reduction or > -greedy graph resolution. > I wondered that it's more similar to OLC, cause the SKIM phase is only a > "possible hits" sorting/screening, rather than a graph reduction... MIRA does not really fit into any of these categories, certainly not into deBruijn. It has elements of both OLC and greedy though (the later was introduced with 454 where one really has to start to be a bit more selective), but these are embedded into a learning framework which no other assembler I know of has. If you really want to categorise MIRA, it could perhaps be described as - iterative assembler learning from past mistakes with OLC and greedy components B. -- You have received this mail because you are subscribed to the mira_talk mailing list.
