I can confirm a similar result with a massive 200M read mouse-ish RNA-Seq
data set.

Using FLASH to overlap first giving ~280 bp SE reads, then doing Diginorm
(k=??) then  using Oases (k=61)  gave the 'best' txome assembly compared to
feeding read pairs. (and Trinity did 'worse' on everything, no matter what
we did, and took 1 week for each run).

It will eventually get published.
