The quality analysis of GNSS satellite positioning data
Focused on the Beidou satellite system (BDS), dual satellite system (GPS/GLONASS) and three satellite system (BDS/GPS/GLONASS), the parameters influencing the quality of static and real-time dynamic positioning date of the GNSS systems, such as the multipath effect, ionospheric delay, data utilization rate and signal-to-noise ratio, number of satellites and accuracy factor PDOP value, have been comparatively analyzed in this paper. The results of tests have shown that compared to the single satellite system BDS the average multipath errors (mp1 and mp2) of multi satellite system fusion decreased by 18 and 8% respectively, due to the increase in the number of visible satellites in multi-satellite fusion, it is possible to compensate each other to a certain extent, thus weakening the influence of the multipath effect on the positioning results. When the cut-off angle is greater than 40°, the single system cannot meet the need of navigation and positioning, however having more visible satellites than the single system it is possible for multi satellite system fusion to maintain lower and more stable PDOP value for high precision positioning services.
TEQC: an R package for quality control in target capture experiments
UNLABELLED
TEQC is an R/Bioconductor package for quality assessment of target enrichment experiments. Quality measures comprise specificity and sensitivity of the capture, enrichment, per-target read coverage and its relation to hybridization probe characteristics, coverage uniformity and reproducibility, and read duplicate analysis. Several diagnostic plots allow visual inspection of the data quality.


AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION
TEQC is implemented in the R language (version >2.12.0) and is available as a Bioconductor package for Linux, Windows and MacOS from www.bioconductor.org.
