What it does

Runs MIRA v3.4, collects the output, and throws away all the temporary files.

MIRA is an open source assembly tool capable of handling sequence data from a range of platforms (Sanger capillary, Solexa/Illumina, Roche 454 and also Ion Torrent).

It is particularly suited to small genomes such as bacteria.
