[AMOS-help] Minimus on the Staphylococcus Aureus

[Giuseppe N. <gna...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

I have been testing Minimus on the Staphylococcus Aureus genome from
the benchmark data available at:
http://www.cbcb.umd.edu/research/benchmark.shtml
In partuclular, to simulate the assembly of the original shotgun
project, I have concatenated the data in random.seq and
random_nonmatching.seq
According to the results reported in the BMC Bioinformatics paper,
Minimus creates only 85 contigs however I get 5445 contigs.
So I was wondering what I am doing wrong.
I am using the standard minimus pipeline of the amos package.


Thanks,
--Giuseppe
