Any suggestions? For that, you really should open a new thread so that one does not loose track of what a discussion is all about. That being said ... depending on the data it is possible, although not very likely. MIRA has a couple of different rules for Sanger and 454. E.g., for Sanger it will by default set SNPs or repeat markers also for gap vs no-gap situations whereas for 454 this is switched off by default. Are you sure the results are 100% identical? Or are they just similar? One way to test that is to use only one thread to do the assembly ("-GE:not=1") in each case, then the result files should be 100% identical. Best, Bastien
