    if cost weren't an issue people should probably have as many replicates as they would for any other kind of experiment. we all know that in biology there's usually a lot of variation between samples in whatever we measure.

    I should note that in Cuffdiff 2.0 the issues of library size normalization has gone away. It seems then have adopted the same normalization system that DESeq uses. So now if you run samples with significantly different total read counts there's no normalization issue and you're only left with the question as to whether it makes sense to compare samples with very different read depths at all. Right?

      That is correct.

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.


        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

        From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
        by SEQadmin2


        Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


        The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
