Dear all,
as main highlight for this version, MIRA now knows about a new sequencing
technology: Ion Torrent. I think it fares pretty well compared to other
assemblers, but feedback is always appreciated.
Fetch it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mira-assembler/files/MIRA/development/
Since the last announcement (3.2.1.7), several other improvements were made.
Here are the most prominent ones:
- distinct improvement of assembly quality for 454 data containing PCR
artefacts
- faster and better assemblies in hybrid Solexa + ... scenarios
- Solexa: automatic clipping for known sequencing adaptors and new quality
filtering routines
- memory usage is kept more closely to constraints given via parameters
- convert_project revamped: less memory usage in most cases and a lot of new
options to convert / filter / rework data
- new documentation: Ion Torrent and MIRA utilities (both not complete yet)
- lots of other small bugfixes and improvements
