NAME¶
mira - The Genome and EST Sequence Assembly System
DESCRIPTION¶
The mira genome fragment assembler is a specialised assembler for sequencing
projects classified as 'hard' due to high number of similar repeats. For
expressed sequence tags (ESTs) transcripts, miraEST is specialised on
reconstructing pristine mRNA transcripts while detecting and classifying
single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) occuring in different variations
thereof.
The assembler is routinely used for such various tasks as mutation detection in
different cell types, similarity analysis of transcripts between organisms,
and pristine assembly of sequences from various sources for oligo design in
clinical microarray experiments.
The purpose of the
mira executable is to assemble sequencing data.
