The Quality Scores track shows the sequencing quality score
(range: 0 to 99) of each base in the assembly.
The height at each position of the track
indicates the quality of the base.
When zoomed out to a large range, the heights reflect the averaged scores.
Scores of 40 or higher reflect high confidence in the sequence (with an error rate of less than
1/10,000); scores of 20 or higher reflect reasonable confidence (of working draft
quality).
This track may be configured in a variety of ways to highlight different aspects
of the displayed information. Click the
