What are Phred scores?
When sequence data is obtained from next-generation sequencing (NGS), each output base also has an associated quality score.
Read this White Paper to understand how these quality scores are encoded as Phred scores and how to use and interpret the confidence levels encoded in these scores in the bioinformatic analysis of NGS data.
In this White Paper, you will learn more about:
- What quality scores are
- Sequencing quality in the Phred score format
- Converting a quality string to an estimated confidence
And much more!
