Figure 1From: Slim-Filter: an interactive windows-based application for illumina genome analyzer data assessment and manipulation Typical biases in the position-by-position proportion of nucleotides and their average quality across reads produced by an Illumina GAIIx instrument: a) nucleotide A present in higher proportion across all positions; b) first 10+ positions are biased to adapter sequences; c) the overall average quality of the nucleotide G is lower across all positions and a sharp quality drop is observed near position 13.
