I am new at this and trying to wrap my head around understanding some terminology and how it all fits into the sequencing analysis side. So here are 2 questions:
1. When someone says they desire to have a lot of reads in their Illumina sequencing, is this the same as saying they are asking for a high coverage? For example, someone says they want a lot of reads for their library, so would this be like saying they are asking for 100x coverage where coverage is the way of quantitating (100x) how many reads they desire?
2. Are coverage and sequencing read depth the same thing?
