*Q20 indicates good confidence in the assignment of a base.
**The number of lanes is the number of samples loaded into a sequencer.
The % passed is the percentage of lanes with more than 50 bases that meet the Q20 criteria.
Read length is the total number of Q20 bases in a read (i.e., in a lane with more than 50 Q20 bases).
