The SOLiD sequencer had a unique 5 base encoded chem that limited its read-length but provided the most accurate sequence data. We had raw accuracy that could see polymerase error. We could see things about polymerase and ligase biology not seen before. ht

@lpachter @CSHL Claude Shannons work inspired 5 base encoding on SOLiD. https://t.co/kVWQHmxbTV
