Abstract
A method for nucleic acid sequencing includes (a) disposing a plurality of template polynucleotide strands in a plurality of defined spaces disposed on a sensor array, at least some of the template polynucleotide strands comprising a test or control sequence; (b) exposing a plurality of the template polynucleotide strands in the defined spaces to a series of flows of nucleotide species flowed according to a predetermined ordering; and (c) determining sequence information for a plurality of the template polynucleotide strands in the defined spaces based on the flows of nucleotide species to generate a plurality of sequencing reads corresponding to the template polynucleotide strands, wherein the test or control sequence comprises a sequence determined by identifying, using a variant caller, loci with systematic errors present in a plurality of sequencing runs included in a training set of sequencing runs.
