Increased mi and ml prevents the assembler 'looking for overlap' where there is not enough coverage to actually have overlap. I don't think it drops low quality reads any more than default parameters, though...

great...
The assembly finished in 13 hours:
start: Sat Mar 27 19:21:59
stop: Sun Mar 28 08:25:07
What is the advantage of increasing the ml length or mi length with low coverage reads?
I am interested in doing additional reading on the topic and Im sure others have had the similar issues if coverage is low.
Also, I found that the N50 decreased by using large option and switching from -ml60/-mi90 parameters to default parameter (N50 = 775, N50=540).
I assume that low quality reads are dropped by setting the overlapMinMatchIdentity to a higher value, which increases contig quality. But I am unclear on this topic.

Long detangling points to a problem with the dataset. You could try the -large option which I think will solve it. It shortcuts some steps during detangling (and alignment).
If coverage is low, ie less than say 15x, also increasing alignment stringency could help: -mi 96 or 98, -ml 60, 80 or even 100.
Good luck!

454assembly using Newbler: job time expectation?
Greetings
I would like to know how long should the following assembly to run using newbler?
The following are details:
gsAssebler
software version: 2.3
Data: 454 data
Input: 3 .sff files with a total of 1,434,170 reads
Genome: eukaryotic unknown size
Not pair end.
I am using the command line and not the GUI. The manual suggests that runAssembly is faster and more efficient. In my previous jobs, I find this to be true. ie.
shell> runAssembly -g , -cpu Num 4 ./input #command used.
Hardware specs:
CPU: 4 processors 2.66ghz ea
RAM: 16gb
The 454newblerprogress.txt file shows that it is currently “detangling alignemnts”. This is great but the file has not updated for more than 24hrs!
The job is running for 6 days, a deadline is looming...
Should I assume it the newbler stalled, died or just gave up?
Thanks.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
