  • Phred score of i

    Hi

    I have the following sequence off of a paired end HiSeq2000 run:

    @UNC11-SN627_0113:1:1101:1382:2135#0/1
    TTAAGGTTTTCACTGGTATAAATCTTTCTATATTGAGACAAAATTTAAGA
    +UNC11-SN627_0113:1:1101:1382:2135#0/1
    bbbeeeeegggggiiigiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihiiiihiiiiiiih

    I am trying to use FASTX to generate a box plot of phred quality scores and it cannot handle the score of "i". None of the scoring systems (sanger, illumina 1.x+, etc.) seem to use "i" as far as I can tell.

    Does anyone know what is happening here (what version I have here) and how I can generate a box plot like this would be extremely appreciated?

    Thanks

    The latest versions of the Illumina software will assign base qulities up to 41, which would be represented as an 'i' if the FASTQ file is encoded using Illumina's Phred+64.

      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...
