NanoComp_quals_violin question #78

Closed MariBGO closed 4 weeks ago

MariBGO commented 5 months ago

Hi, thank you for a great tool!

I have a question to the violin plot called NanoComp_quals_violin. The Y axis reads "Average base call quality score", so I was wondering if the plot represents read quality as calculated by average base quality described here or if it is a representation of all base qualities in the files, independent of reads?

kind regards, Mari

Hi Mari,

Your first explanation was correct, it shows the distribution of the average quality score for each read.
