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.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
