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 On 21 Jan 2010, at 10:08 , Mihaela Angelova wrote:
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=3500and 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 endIs 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 -> 24If 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 --You have received this mail because you are subscribed to the mira_talk mailing list.
