Short answer: no, there is currently no way to reduce that output. Most of it is indeed pretty boring for users who just want their stuff assembled, but in case there is a problem or some kind of unexpected behaviour, it helps me to at least get an idea of what is going on. This is somewhat vital for larger assemblies where I cannot ask people to constantly rerun things for 2 weeks on their computers. I'm sorry, but for projects like yours, you will have to live with logs of >= 1GiB. But then again, what's a GiB disk space anyway. In case you wonder: there is a way to make the log even more verbose, I'd guess around 200 to 300x larger, but it involves recompiling and I do have the feeling that this is quite opposite of what you wanted :-) > I had another case with an even bigger log file due to solexa file names > being too long. > I now know how to avoid that using -MI:somrnl=0 but there was an error > message for every solexa read... Hrm ... I think that this could be remedied, perhaps have MIRA report just the first 1000 names which are too long. Or something like that. Could ease the pressure a bit. I'm puttinhg that on my TODO (but no promises). I couldn't help but quickly scan through the rest of the log, noticing a couple of things: 1) you're doing an assembly with unpaired 454 and unpaired Illumina, is that correct? 2) where did you get those ~200bp Illuminas from? By the look of the statistics, they must be pretty good in quality ... clipped only some 4% of the total bases and that's not worse than the 100bp reads I have seen so far. B. PS: and would you like to test drive the current development version with your data set to comment on whether you think it's better or worse? -- You have received this mail because you are subscribed to the mira_talk mailing list.
