#NextGenSequencing Is Q40 the new Q30? We've lived a couple of decades of NGS were the mark for "good quality reads" was at Q30, or equivalently, one error in every 1,000 bases.
But recently, companies like @elembio.bsky.social have changed the status quo of what people consider high quality NGS...

More insightful discussions on the Roche SBX #NextGenSequencing platform, which was properly unveiled a few weeks ago.
Read length: I think the main inefficiency here might be the synthesis part, where if you start with a 5000bp molecule, only the first 500-1000bps are "expanded".

Key questions for me are:

1) Read length - how long can these actually get before they tangle, fracture or crash out of solution?

2) Raw error rate - how accurate can the novel polymerases get?

3) Is there any plausible pathway to detecting modified bases?
