Influence of quality score (Q) on homopolymer accuracy. Distribution of homopolymer related quality scores (Q score). The normal homopolymer Q score distribution is determined by making a distribution of the Q score of the homopolymer base; the mismatch homopolymer Q score distribution is determined by making a distribution of the Q score of the base preceding a homopolymer related deletion or the Q score of a homopolymer related inserted base. Distributions are shown for homopolymers with length 3, 5, 6 and 7 bp. The grey vertical lines are drawn at a Q score of 15 and 30. Distributions are based on data from the two BRCA runs.
