• Characteristics of 454 pyrosequencing data—enabling realistic simulation with flowsim 

      Balzer, Susanne Mignon; Malde, Ketil; Lanzén, Anders; Sharma, Animesh; Jonassen, Inge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)
      Motivation: The commercial launch of 454 pyrosequencing in 2005was a milestone in genome sequencing in terms of performance and cost. Throughout the three available releases, average read lengths have increased to ∼500 ...
    • Characteristics of Pyrosequencing Data – Analysis, Methods, and Tools 

      Balzer, Susanne Mignon (Doctoral thesis, 2013-06-17)
      The introduction of this thesis provides background knowledge on the 454 sequencing technology and a detailed review of the most relevant sequencing artifacts. Chapter 1 puts the 454 sequencing technology into a historical ...
    • Filtering duplicate reads from 454 pyrosequencing data 

      Balzer, Susanne Mignon; Malde, Ketil; Grohme, Markus A.; Jonassen, Inge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)
      Motivation: Throughout the recent years, 454 pyrosequencing has emerged as an efficient alternative to traditional Sanger sequencing and is widely used in both de novo whole-genome sequencing and metagenomics. Especially ...
    • Systematic exploration of error sources in pyrosequencing flowgram data 

      Balzer, Susanne Mignon; Malde, Ketil; Jonassen, Inge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011)
      Motivation: 454 pyrosequencing, by Roche Diagnostics, has emerged as an alternative to Sanger sequencing when it comes to read lengths, performance and cost, but shows higher per-base error rates. Although there are several ...
