Hi,
i have a question about phred quality values in fastq format(Sanger).
I know that phred quality = character_code - 33 and that error probability is 10^(-phred quality/10).
So for " character(code=34), that is always appears in front of N character in sequence, quality is ~0.8 that is closest code for 0.75 error probability (all bases are equaly probable).
But what about ! character (code=33)? error probability = 1
Is it means that corresponding base in sequence wrong with probability=1 (at least >0.8) and other 3 bases equaly probable?
For example:
@SRR00XXXX
TAAGTTTTCTTATTTATATAACTACATATTTTTTTA
+SRR00XXXX
I%0IIIII,I"$EI(%$$@?2!&(02*/&",&/-'%
C in 22 position has quality ! (i.e in this position can be A or T or G but not C ?)

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...-

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...-
