PHYSER: An Algorithm to Detect Sequencing Errors from Phylogenetic Information

Sequencing errors can be difficult to detect due to the high rate of production of new data, which makes manual curation unfeasible. To address these shortcomings we have developed a phylogenetic inspired algorithm to assess the quality of new sequences given a related phylogeny. Its performance and efficiency have been evaluated with human mitochondrial DNA data.
