* We have more simulated data - 14 million paired end reads. There are two files: [[Path:../../data/reads1.fq.gz | set1]] and [[Path:../../data/reads2.fq.gz | set2]]. Start with aligning them individually, and see if using them as paired end data improves accuracy. Here's a file that provides the [[Path:../../true_alignments.txt | cigar strings]] for the reads.

We ask you to apply your chosen program to the following two datasets:

* Short read [[Path:
../../data/simulated_arabidopsis_75.fq | simulated data]] from ''Arabidopsis thaliana''. Here's a [[Path:../../data/README.txt | readme]].
* Short read data generated by our collaborator from the biology department. The data is available from the NCBI short-read archive as [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE32318| GEO accession GSE32318]]. Note that this data is composed of two replicates that you need to align separately. The link for downloading the data is at the bottom of the page, labeled as supplementary file [[ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov/sra/sra-instant/reads/ByStudy/sra/SRP%2FSRP008%2FSRP008348 | download]].
