Hello everybody,

I'm trying to assembl artificial reads which produced by art which is a
next generation sequencing simulator. I do have illumina reads in
different  coverages. The problem even though I used e.coli genome to
produce reads in 10x, 20x, and even 30x coverages I got dozens of contigs
and the lenght of the contigs very short. (I meant it because lots of
contigs length same with the read lengths (100bp)).After 40x coverage I do
get better contig lengths but still the number of contigs so high!!! at 40x
coverage I end up with 4000 contigs.

I used very basic parameters to run mira. Now I'm reading manuals of it but
I almost lost in it. Is there anybody can give me advice that can improve
my result?
