I think the mapping is less intensive than denovo. Did you had any chance to look at your log output. I once ran incompatible mira in IA-64 architecture and it bloated the log file quickly into several gb in matter of minutes. See if something similar is happening to you, Arun ----- Original Message ---- From: Leonor Palmeira <mlpalmeira@xxxxxxxxx> To: mira_talk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Fri, April 15, 2011 6:43:22 AM Subject: [mira_talk] Re: MIRA disk space issue Hi, why don't you use both the 454 and Illumina reads and do a full hybrid assembly instead of mapping the Illumina reads on your previous 454 scaffolds? I think it would be the most appropriate approach to handle your data with MIRA. I also don't think you would get to the space disk issue you are mentioning, but I might be wrong. Best, Leonor.
