Dear all, My name is Juan and I´d like to use MIRA for assembling an EST project. I have 450,000 454 FLX reads from a bivalve corresponding to a normalized library. I have removed adapters and vector from reads before assembling. I have cleaned them with cutadapt and seqtrimnext pipeline. I have read the manual for MIRA and I thought to use these running parameters for the assembly: -job=denovo,est,accurate,454 -highlyrepetitive -notraceinfo, are these parameters appropriate?? It would be a better idea running a "draft", or "normal" assembly before an "accurate" one? I have turned on the highlyrepetitive switch because it is likely that these bivalves have sequences highly repetitive even in cDNA sequences. Many thanks in advance Juan --------------------------------------------------------------- Juan Fernandez Tajes, ph.
