How is PeakTrace different to other basecaller like phred?
Other basecallers like phred or TraceTuner work by re-basecalling the processed peak data in the trace file. This means that their basecalling accuracy is limited to the quality of the peaks provided by the ABI data collection software. PeakTrace is different in that it works directly on the raw data. PeakTrace reprocesses the raw data before basecalling. This means that we are able to provide a significantly better basecalls with few errors and longer reads.
