Estimating Phred scores of Illumina base calls by logistic regression and sparse modeling

Abstract Background Phred quality scores are essential for downstream DNA analysis such as SNP detection and DNA assembly. Thus a valid model to define them is indispensable for any base-calling software. Recently, we developed the base-caller 3Dec for Illumina sequencing platforms, which reduces ba...
