Might be a bit "off topic" but, when u say "34k out of 84k", can you please give some more info about that?

Sanger sequencing = costly, very. Having ~60% of the data treated as junk is a catastrophe for any Sanger sequencing project, normally I'd say the upper limit is somewhere between 1 and 5% (at least from projects I've seen in the past).

Count something like at least USD 3 to 4 per read (someone correct me on those numbers if I am way off target). Having 50k reads not assembling amounts to at least USD 150k - 200k of wasted money. And I cannot imagine such a thing really happening, too much money involved.

Couple that with the info she gave earlier: MIRA warning about megahubs ... which should, really, never occur in well clipped Sanger projects of bacteria. You'll quickly land at the hypothesis that somewhere, something went very wrong. Clipping is my main suspect here.

IF she's working on a bacterium, that is. In case these are viruses, small plasmids, mitochondria or other - uh - interesting targets, things can get ugly (quite quickly so).

BTW, i am jealous about the answer you post for Isabelle's earlier post, i do thank you on top of her's. Please follow this habit.

It's a fine line people are walking when developing and supporting OSS. The term "time management" becomes quite important then.

I suppose I behave pretty much foreseeable: of course my answers depend on my available time, but much more on the way people ask and what information they give to pinpoint their problem, whether or not they first tried to search for answers themselves and willingness to read things they are pointed to. In short: I'll help where I can as long as I do not get the impression I'm wasting my time on people who try to abuse me (or other people in communities which try to help).

B.
