Well, thank you all for your help. I found out the problem and it turned out to be an over coverage of the sequence (near 450X), so I used the package "Flower" and produced a new sff file with random 10 percent of the reads. Converted them into fasta, qual and xml and re-run mira on my on laptop. By the way, I had never used the Flower package but it seems to be very helpful when handling 454 data, just needs to be a little more friendly. just in case any of you is interested in it, here is the old link: http://blog.malde.org/index.php/2009/07/03/a-set-of-tools-for-working-with-454-sequences/ <http://blog.malde.org/index.php/2009/07/03/a-set-of-tools-for-working-with-454-sequences/>or the new one: http://biohaskell.org/Applications/Flower <http://biohaskell.org/Applications/Flower>Thanks again for all your help.
