Summary: Reference-free short read error correction from diploid genomes, with explicit modeling of heterozygous sites.

"Error: no local variable "counter" was set." is not a number.

Description

ECHO is an error correction algorithm designed for short-reads from next-generation sequencing platforms such as Illumina's Genome Analyzer II. The algorithm uses a Bayesian framework to improve the quality of the reads in a given data set by employing maximum a posteriori estimation.
