What does a QV>=30 mean exactly? How do the quality scores from one platform relate to the quality scores from another platform? Thanks.

Quality values are generally PHRED scores, given as a base 10 log transform of the probability of error at that base. A PHRED score of 30 means the chance of a miscall is estimated at 1 in 1000. See:
Different platforms have different underlying error properties, and different ways to estimate them.
Note Solexa/Illumina used to use their own (alternative) log transform, but as of 1.3 of their pipeline they now use PHRED scores.

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
