    Quality score graph

    Just wondering if anyone have seen the same problem with cycle 30.
    Thanks,
    Victor

    it's not normal. This is for a single run? If you have the images look at the images, see if they get dimmer or something else strange happens at cycle 30. If you don't have the images then look at the intensity plots, do you have a significant drop in average intensity around cycle 30? What do the error rates for cycle 30+ look like on the control lane?

      This is Solexa, right?
      If it is, maybe you would like to look at that
      maybe you would like to look at that:

        I already posted this answer in the other thread where you asked about this, but I thought I'd post it here as well. This is possibly an artifact of the Illumina pipeline quality score normalization rather than an actual sudden drop in quality.

        This is most likely because the qualities you are looking at are alignment normalized, and a large number of your sequences failed to align to the reference genome (due to a ligated adapter, etc.)

        Take a look at the un-normalized scores (s_<lane>_qraw.txt) instead, I think you'll find that the curve is more continuous between cycles.

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          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

          New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
          by SEQadmin2


          Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

          We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
