phred
convert phred quality scores to and from other numerical representations
Overview
Phred quality scores are a humanized representation of small error probabilities. They have a long history of use in genomics, where they have been employed to represent the quality of sequencing observations.
If the probability of error is P, the phred quality score Q is defined as Q = -10 * log10(P)
.
Inversely, P = 10^(-Q/10)
:
This library encapsulates conversions between error probabilities and phred scores.
Installation
npm install phred
Usage
A Phred object is provided that allows for manipulation of quality scores.
