I want to run SHRiMP on SOLiD data, but despite reading the manual I can't find a parameter that allows me to give the .qual file as input. Does SHRiMP not consider quality values at all?

Originally posted by agc View PostA new version of SHRiMP was released just last month, so it can't be that outdated. And I think I saw somewhere that it does take quality values into consideration.
2.0.2: Sep 20, 2010
[...]
- Added --bfast option that performs global color space alignments
along with reporting color space base qualities
But this does not indicate that quality values are used in mapping, only that with the --bfast option that "color space base qualities" are reported.

SHRiMP has been using mapping quality values since v2.2.0 in August 2011. If the reads are given in .fasta files, all colors use a default qv corresponding to 3% error rate (about 17). If they are given in fastq files, the qualities are interpreted according to the PHRED value and used as integral part of the alignment. It doesn't take .qual input directly. See such options as --pr-xover, --min-avg-qv, --qv-offset, --ignore-qvs in README.-- Matei David

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...-

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...-
