Hi there,

"...While not being directly related to MIRA, it does relate to the overall 
field of sequencing and assembly,..." therefore I want to ask you, the 
specialists of sequence projects..
I (a PhD student) am working on a project that we (some professors and other 
PhD students) want to have some organisms' genomic and transcriptomic 
sequences, starting from Yeast. Around the globe, who/which company would you 
recommend? The criteria for me would be the price/reliability. I guess for each 
project we will be having one 454 and one of other type of seq. technology 
runs, so that we can have some hybrid assemblies.

It would be more than good if one can comment on the mixture of independent 
technologies (sequencing tech.), in respect to what kind of projects would 
yield higher quality with which kind of sequencers.

Any help is deeply appreciated. 

Best,
Visam
