  • Helicos Nscore

    Hi.
    I'm working on a raw data file from Helicos, but lack some information about the format.. I have found what i believe is the quality score, the 'Nscore', however I can not seem to relate it to any quality scores i know of (Sanger, Solexa or Illumina 1.3+). I was told that the quality should be rather high for most of the samples, however the max value seems to be 5.
    Does anyone know what this 'Nscore' represents or how it perhaps can be converted to another score?

    Best,
    jmjensen

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    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...

    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...
