Hi,

I am working on assembly ecoli genome by MIRA with a backbone. Some part of
the info report I am not quite understand, if someone can share some of his
experience? I am very new in this area, so any explanations would be
greatly helpful!

1. most importantly, by default setting, I only get one huge contig which
is almost same size as the backbone. My understanding is the assembly
process with backbone in MIRA is like mapping reads back, but what about
genome location without reads coverage? Besides, For de novo assembly we
usually pick the one with more and longer contigs as best assembly, and
here how can I evaluate it?

2. My data is from 454, but why "Max coverage per sequencing technology"
shows there are some Sanger data

-- 
Best,

Yunfei Li
