Hi Mihaela,

I've been running such an assembly. Whereas the 454-only (~300k reads) assembly took a few hours, adding ~500k Solexa paired-end reads made it about 8 days... I think this is due to the fact that building contigs is highly time-consuming in MIRA, and Solexa reads assemble in a lot of small contigs.

You can check what Pass MIRA is in:

grep "Pass" assembly.log

As far as I remember, MIRA does 5 passes when set with accurate.
By the way, how many reads of each kind do you have?

Cheers,

Lionel

Hello,
I want to use Mira for assembly of 454 reads combined with solexa paired end reads. However, the assembling was started two days ago with:

mira -project=pp -job=denovo,genome,accurate,454,solexa -GE:amm=no SOLEXA_SETTINGS -GE:tismin=2500:tismax=3500

and still hasn't finished. I have noticed that a huge number of paired ends were discarded because they were too short :

AAA/2 too small even with paired end

Is this because their ends might have been clipped. In the project_int_clippings.0.txt there are messages like :

proposed cutback 1b:  left AAA/2        9 -> 24

If I use the noclipping command, would it make the run more accurate? Is it normal that the run takes more than two days (if i need half a day to assemble the 454 reads without the paired ends)?
Thanks a lot,
Mihaela
