Analysis
The topics provided in this appendix are intended for advanced users
of the SOLiD 4 System and do not apply to the typical user.
Primary analysis is the process of extracting color calls or
assignments (.csfasta file) from images captured from a sequencing
run, calculating a quality value for each color call, and writing the
color-call value to a QV file (.qual).
Primary analysis also provides real-time feedback about a
sequencing run.
