Is there a method to estimate sequencing error in databases?

01 June 2018 1 4K Report

I have a couple chloroplast genomes deposited in GenBank where IR sequences are non-identical, but they should be. They might be sequencing and/or assembly errors. Is there a way to estimate this from the deposited genome sequences?

Unless you have the raw data with fastq files, you can't do that. Which kind of data do you have?
