Hi, I have done an assembly with MIRA and I tried both accurate and normal mapping assembly, both resulted in good assembly: mira --fastq --project=data --job=mapping,genome,accurate,solexa -SB:lsd=yes:bsn=Myco_t_KZN1435:bft=gbf mira --fastq --project=data --job=mapping,genome,solexa -SB:lsd=yes:bsn=Myco_t_KZN1435:bft=gbf I then wanted to use the convert_project function. For some reason convert_project throws and error stating that the sequence and quality are not the same length (I already posted this problem). I have now looked at the caf file and sequence and quality are actually the same length but I noticed in the caf file that MIRA inserted an n at the start of each sequence and a 0 at the start of each sequence quality and wonder if this is normal or if this is a bug in MIRA or more likely something to do with my input sequences?
