^∋   The Fraction N/Low Q plots, and dotted lines on the GC histogram plots, refer to all reads that have passed chastity filters. If a reference genome was available, all others refer to mapped reads, otherwise they too refer to chastity-filtered reads. The dotted lines in the fraction N/lowQ plot correspond to the fraction of bases with quality score 4 or less.   ^∇   "Predicted variants" (dashed line) is the expected error frequency expressed as a Phred score, and may be compared with the "Variants by cycle" graph (solid line). "Mean Q" (solid) is the numerical mean Q score and is a measure of the average information content per read. These graphs use mapped reads only; the dashed line in the Mean Q plot uses all (PF) reads. All four graphs are calculated on called bases with Q Phred score above 4 only.   ^℘   Mapped coverage by G+C. The coverage was averaged over those genomic regions that were covered at least once. Regions with coverage in the top 0.1 percentile were excluded; the dotted line shows results for all reads. The G+C fraction was computed from read bases, excluding Ns and bases with quality below 4.   ^∅   Genomic coverage by G+C. The G+C fraction was computed from the reference genome, over the approximate fragment Regions with coverage in the top 0.1 percentile were excluded. The G+C histogram is shown as a dotted line (arbitrary Y scale).   ^∞   The insert size distribution is summarized by the median and median absolute deviation.   

Tile QC statistics and plots

Variant rate by tile∝ (read 1)		Raw/mapped yield by tile (read 1)		Fraction N/lowQ by tile (read 1)
Variant rate by tile∝ (read 2)		Raw/mapped yield by tile (read 2)		Fraction N/lowQ by tile (read 2)

^∝   HiSeq tiles are grouped in order: swathe 1 top; swathe 1 bottom; swathe 2 top; etc.
