I would also love an explanation of the 454 quality scores.
I think there is an error in the original definition of 454 quality scores, as described here: http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=50237
Cheers,

From the manual:
"The signal flowgrams of the reads are basecalled and quality scores for each base are calculated based on the signal properties relative to the statistical distributions of the Control DNA fragment signals."
Does that help?Leave a comment:

Flowgram signals to quality score
Can anyone explain how the raw flowgram signals are converted into quality scores for the 454 GSFLX system? I'm trying to compare two processing methods, and am running into trouble with each screening for quality based on different criteria (one based on flowgram signal, the other based on quality score).
Thanks!

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM -
During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...09-09-2024, 10:59 AM
