The accuracy of a sequencing platform has traditionally been measured by the %Q30, or percentage of data exceeding a basecall accuracy of 99.9%. Improvements to accuracy beyond Q30 may be beneficial for certain applications such as the identification of low frequency alleles or the improvement of reference genomes. Here we demonstrate how we achieved over 70% Q50 (99.999% accuracy) data on the AVITI sequencer. This level of accuracy required us to not only improve sequencing quality but also to mitigate library preparation errors and analysis artifacts.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
