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.
