GM: Scrubbing is to throw away any bad data; favor editing over not. Patch gaps, detect & split chimers #AGBT15
11:35am February 28th 2015 via Hootsuite
GM: Intrinsic quality values of A vs B reads; scrubbing w/good and bad thresholds. Trim bad tips (end of reads) find gaps #AGBT15

CM: Error profile of short reads (inc. Sanger) - error at start, lowers, rises toward end of read. Take the middle. @Pacbio - varies #AGBT15

GM: Edit of reads so that every read is a contiguous segment of the underlying genome (no chimers, adapters); error <20% #AGBT15
