Talk:Fold coverage
Dubious
My vague understanding of the term "5-fold coverage" is that each fragment of analyzed DNA sequence is covered by 5 or more samples, increasing the probability that the assembled sequence is in the correct order, with no missing pieces. The "fold" is used in the way one might say you have a 5-fold increase of harm if you do some dangerous activity five times, as opposed to once. There is no such thing as "fold coverage". See Shotgun sequencing. Not sure what to recommend for this article. Make it a redirect? Johnuniq (talk) 07:48, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- Agree. Also, the explanation in Shotgun_sequencing#Coverage is much better. However, the term "fold coverage is frequently (or at least sometime) used in the sequencing literature. Labongo (talk) 03:24, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
