Sequence assembly with MIRA3, a Swiss knife like tool

Sequence assembly with MIRA3

http://www.molecularevolution.org/software/genomics/mira

MIRA is a whole genome shotgun and EST sequence assembler for Sanger, 454, Solexa (Illumina) and PacBio data. It can be seen as a Swiss army knife of sequence assembly developed and used in the past 12 years to get assembly jobs done efficiently - and especially accurately. That is, without actually putting too much manual work into finishing the assembly.
