1. GS De Novo Assembler : 1.8 Computing the Assembly : 1.8.4 Information Updated when Assembly Completes
1.8.4
Information Updated when Assembly Completes
After a successful assembly, the data for the various columns of the reads in the GS reads and the FASTA and FASTQ reads sub-tabs will be updated (Figure 17). Placing the mouse pointer over any cell in the table brings up a tool tip with additional information about that item. A successful assembly also updates data in the Overview tab. Project information is also saved when the computation completes.

After an assembly project has been computed, the results of the assembly can be viewed on the Overview, Project, Results Files, Alignment Results, and Flowgram tabs of the GS De Novo Assembly application’s main window.
 
In some cases where large (greater than 100 Mbp) or complex genomes are being assembled, the computation may not indicate its progress for an extended period of time. When this happens, the GUI may incorrectly indicate that the computation has stalled. The computation should be given several more hours to complete if a large or complex genome is being assembled. In these cases, please note that the assembly is still running in the background. Using the top command will list the newbler currently active Newbler process.
