Is there any difference in the quality score format of a sample (FASTQ) file generated by HiSeq 2000 and that by Genome Analyzer II ?
Thank you,

There are no differences between machines, but there are between software versions. The recently released CASAVA 1.8 outputs FASTQ files with Q-scores using Phred+33 encoding as opposed to the Phred+64 used in previous versions. -
Thank you for your answer.Comment

Hi kmcarr,
I know that CASAVA v1.8 is reported to produce Phred+33 Q-scores, but I just checked the export files from our last run and observed quality values up to 'i' (which would be 72!). I'll contact Illumina tech support later today and get the scoop.

Follow-up:
The bam files contain Phred+33 Q-scores, while the export files contain Phred+64.
Aaaarrgghh!Comment

It sounds like they've fixed their FASTQ (good), but not the in house "export" format (confusing!)
SAM/BAM have always explicitly required PHRED scores + 33 for the ASCI encoding (like Sanger FASTQ).

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...04-22-2024, 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
