What the about the case genomic sequence without a > reference? What kind of parameters should I choose? 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 B. -- You have received this mail because you are subscribed to the mira_talk mailing list.
