NAME

       mira - The Genome and EST Sequence Assembly System

DESCRIPTION

       The  mira  genome  and  RNA  assembler  is a specialised assembler for sequencing projects
       classified as 'hard' due to high number of similar repeats.

       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.

SYNOPSIS

       mira [OPTION] manifest_file [manifest_file] ...

OPTIONS

       -c / --cwd=directory

       -h / --help
              Print short help and exit

       -m / --mcheck
              Only check the manifest file, then exit.

       -M / --mdcheck
              Only check the manifest file and presence of data files, then exit.

       -r / --resume
              Resume an interrupted assembly

       -t / --thread
              Force number of threads (overrides equivalent -GE:not manifest entry).
