  • MIRA 4 poor performance compared to 3.9.X

    Dear all,
    i'm having big issues using MIRA 4 for bacterial denovo sequencing: number of contigs generated by assembly with MIRA 4 is insanely higher than with MIRA 3.9.X.

    Here are some comparison of number of contigs generated by assembly with the two MIRA versions:

    MIRA 3.9.15 ---> MIRA 4

    38 ---> 252
    44 ---> 168
    74 ---> 236
    48 ---> 206


    All these datasets are of good quality and give between 50X and 100X coverage.


    Anyone knows the cause of this? Maybe some kind of default setting that was changed and now need to be manually set?

    Sounds like a similar issue to this MIRA mailing list thread (which is probably the best place to ask about MIRA problems): http://www.freelists.org/post/mira_t...ct-to-MIRA-39X

      Just curious, is the assembly really fragmented or are there just a few short contigs additionally created? Are the large contigs comparable in size and assembly quality?

        It's me who started the post on MIRA mailing list.

        We've done some testing and comparison with fully assembled genomes.

        MIRA 4 gives more contigs but avoids assembly errors. We'll stick with MIRA since with 400bp single end reads it seems to work better and contigs number don't increase so much

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
