Detecting and Analyzing DNA Sequencing Errors: Toward a Higher Quality of the Bacillus subtilis Genome Sequence

Table 2.

Number (and Percentage) of Each Kind of Sequencing Error: Substitutions, Deletions, and Insertions

Substitutions Deletions Insertions
A↔T 24 (10%) A 30 (11%) 21 (7%)
A↔G 38 (17%) T 55 (19%) 25 (9%)
A↔C30 (13%) G 56 (20%) 20 (7%)
T↔G32 (14%) ̅C̅ ̅5̅3̅ ̅(̅1̅9̅%̅)̅ 24 (8%)
T↔C35 (15%) 194 (68%) 90 (32%)
G↔C 71 (31%)
  • Percentage is the fraction of total substitutions.

  • A deletion means a missing letter in the original sequence.

  • Percentage is the fraction of total insertions and deletions.
