Inherits:
SangerChromatogram show all
Defined in:
lib/bio/db/sanger_chromatogram/scf.rb

Overview

Description

This class inherits from the SangerChromatogram superclass. It captures the information contained within an scf format chromatogram file generated by DNA sequencing. See the SangerChromatogram class for usage

Instance Attribute Details

#aqual ⇒ Object

The quality of each base at each position along the length of the sequence is captured by the nqual attributes where n is one of a, c, g or t. Generally the quality will be high for the base that is called at a particular position and low for all the other bases. However at positions of poor sequence quality, more than one base may have similar top scores. By analysing the nqual attributes it may be possible to determine if the base calling was correct or not. The quality of the A base at each sequence position
