Time to update the guide I think.

SNP detection *always* works *if* MIRA has info on strains.

Use normal parameters (whichever you use), but telling MIRA to read a 
straindata file. In the simplest incantation:

  --project=... --job=... -SB:lsd=yes

Indeed, I've made a couple of assemblies with two genomes where one was a 
parent and one was a mutagenised child. Works well I think. Though I don't 
really know how well it works with more than two strains, but shouldn't be too 
bad.

Now, try it out :-) 

In the mean time, I've started updating the guide with a section on non-
perfect repeat detection and SNP discovery, but I still need more time
