  • error rate

    has anyone attempted to use a program like novoalign to better estimate the actual error rate of illumina sequencing protocol? i saw some discussion here a while ago.

    i saw an estimate here although i'm not clear what the source was: ~180 errors per 100 of 2x36bp reads

    i've seen some work this year on minimizing the effect of an intrinsic error rate on mappability using parent-child clustering but i haven't seen any new data on what the likely true error rate is. I would think that a robust aligner like NovoAlign - since it can align with up to 7 mismatches in SE reads (in my hands this amounts to >60% of all reads unmappable by MAQ) - would provide better estimate of error rate than the illumina method...which i'm unsure what that method actually is but my experience with SOLiD and Illumina make me think that it's an underestimate.

    Thanks for conversing!

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    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...
