What is the illumina sequencing error rate?

Question

[Sama]

I want to simulate Illumina short reads to investigate performance of my algorithm. I need to know what the sequencing error rate of Illumina is. I also need to have the reference of this information to be able to cite it.

There are many existing NGS data simulation programs: NGS reads simulation

Actually I am using one of the existing softwares I just wanted to have a reference for the error rate.

It depends on the platform, chemistry, read length, and experiment; there's no single Illumina error rate. It can range from under 0.1% to over 10%.

As well as one the genomic context...

Thank you so much. I could find it in this paper: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1755-0998.2011.03024.x/full
