Sequencing Depth, Coverage and Read Types for NGS
What is sequencing depth and coverage?
Sequencing Depth
Sequencing depth is the ratio of the total number of bases (bp) obtained by sequencing to the genome size, which is one of the indicators to evaluate the sequencing volume. There is a positive correlation between sequencing depth and genome coverage, and the error rate or false positive results from sequencing decreases as the...
