I recently got some fresh data from the Illumina hiseq. I did a quick mapping assembly with Mira. Afterwards the plan was to extract the Mira trimmed reads from the readpool.maf file (as discussed in a previous mail). When I looked at this reads I discovered that MIRA did no trimming at all. I dont think the read quality is that good.

Oh, MIRA probably did trim, at least if the parameter -CL:pec was set to "on" (which is the default anyway).

When converting the MAF file, you probably said "give me all the sequences in the MAF file" and convert_project dutifully obliged. What you should have said is "give me all the sequences, but clipped" :-)

  convert_project -C ...

The hiseq reads come in SANGER fastq quality format, as far as I can say (waiting for the reply from the sequencing facility). I found the [fastq_qualoffset(fqqo)=/|integer|/] switch in the manual but it also says that MIRA is capable of guessing the right format correctly.. Shall I just run it again with fqqo=33, or is there something else wrong?

No need to rerun and very probably nothing wrong.
