Hi everyone,
I apologize if this is a repost, please refer me to an older discussion if it is (I couldn't find one myself).
I am trying to understand how to handle the mapping quality scores in the outputs of mappers like BWA, Bowtie, BFAST etc. For this I first wish to understand how exactly their are estimated.
From what I've found so far, this is an estimation of the likelihood of a wrong mapping. I saw the formula here, but I still can't figure why it represents that likelihood.
Can someone please explain?
Thanks,
Amit
