We've been running phredPhrap on the 3700 files and gotten pretty good
results (when I called Q>20 values of about 400 by eye, phred called 406
and 422 (for eg)). Lee Rowen has talked to Brent Ewing about retraining
phred on 3700 chromats. It turns out that Genoscope has sequenced and
submitted (and is therefore presumably high quality sequence) a bac on
chromosome 14 that overlaps one of our bacs by a significant amount, so
we are going to run 10-12 plates of sequence on the 3700 and use the
Genoscope sequence as a known and give Brent the dataset.
Bottom line is that we'll have to wait a bit to see if any changes in
phred are necessary.
