The Mira Assembler

We have installed the Mira de novo assembler.

For documentation on the program, see the Mira homepage at ​http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/mira-assembler/index.php?title=Main_Page

Read carefully how the assembly should be done with your specific dataset.

Mira uses fairly large amounts of memory. Luckily, there is a small program included to estimate the memory needs. It's called miramem. Just run it once you have logged in to my-mgrid and answer the questions. Take the estimate given by miramem and add 5GB to it when you request memory for your run on the grid (in the job script).
