[Open-bio-l] Sanger FASTQ format and the Solexa/Illumina variants

[Hilmar Lapp]

Congratulations! I'm delighted and truly pleased to see this come out  
of our community of member projects. Kudos to the team for taking this  
work all the way through to writing it up formally for publication &  
archival for everyone's benefit.
