Originally posted by chadn737 View PostIt has been shown in many cases that Biological variation is far greater than technical variation in Illumina sequencing and typically individual runs are pooled together and treated as one sample. Ideally thats why you multiplex all your biological replicates and spread the sequencing across multiple lanes.
So perhaps I should merge my .sam files per biological replicate and then do the tophat/bowtie alignment?
Thanks.

Read runs and technical replicates
So I've downloaded some example data from SRA archives at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra?term=SRA011001 and had a question about technical and biological replicates (see attached picture for a snapshot of the downloads). I know that there are two biological replicates for control and treatment conditions (in this case a miR155 over-expression retrovirus) but I'm not sure about the technical replicates.
Do read runs count as technical replicates?
And, if so, how can I use that in my analysis pipeline (currently I'm using the Tuxedo suite (i.e. tophat > cufflinks > cuffmerge, etc.)).
Right now I think I'm just telling the program that there are six biological replicates of each condition (i.e. 6 x miR155oe vs. 6 x control) which is probably wrong.
Thanks, ScottAttached FilesTags: None

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
