My hybrid,acurate,454,solexa,denovo assembly is on its 4th day and I was wondering if that is normal. Here is a bit of info: 240,000 454 reads 2000000 solexa pair-end reads 48 GB ram 2 quad core 2.4 Ghz xeons Fedora 14, using about 80% of ram. There are some contaminations of the DNA thought:( we have chunks of bacterial and fungal DNA and we are only interested in the Fungal mitochondrial DNA ~70-80kb. We already have the genome assembled into 9 contigs, problem is that is still a lot, we would like to reduce it further to 4-5 contigs if possible and get different contigs from Mira algorithms. Can anyone confirm that it is normal to have such a long wait time? Here is a bit of log, last 300 lines, more than ahppy to provide more: http://pastebin.ca/2061695 Thanks everyone.
