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.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...Yesterday, 07:01 AM -
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
