Hi all,
I recently finished assembly by mapping with MIRA, followed by Velvet de novo assembly of the missed reads. I am currently trying to merge both assemblies together using Phrap.
My problem is, Phrap is taking a really long time with this re-assembly. I set my parameters as follows: penalty -9, minscore 100.
My reference assembly consists of both contigs and scaffolds (with Ns). Do the Ns affect the run time for my merge? Is there anything I can do to make the re-assembly faster? Would it be better if I split the scaffolds at the Ns (maybe if > 10Ns are present)?
Thanks in advance for your insight.
