    One repetition differs significantly

    Dear SeqAnswer community,
    I am working on an experiment in which we are doing RNAseq. We have 2 groups (a and p), each with three replicates. In one group, one repetition differs significantly from the others which is seen in the RNA-SeQC statistics (presented statistics after deduplication):

    10000 Expressed Transcripts Sample Mean Per Base Cov. Mean CV
    Bottom p1 3 0.92
    Middle p1 4.36 0.83
    Top p1 7.79 0.75
    Bottom p2 3.63 0.87
    Middle p2 5.28 0.79
    Top p2 8.87 0.72
    Bottom p3 3.43 0.9
    Middle p3 4.98 0.82
    Top p3 8.45 0.74
    Bottom a1 5.46 1.08
    Middle a1 5.71 1.07
    Top a1 6.08 1.06

    Bottom a2 7.2 0.82
    Middle a2 9.47 0.77
    Top a2 13.08 0.72
    Bottom a3 8.13 0.8
    Middle a3 10.03 0.77
    Top a3 12.72 0.73



    The other statistics like: Total Purity Filtered Reads Sequenced, Alternative Aligments, Estimated Library Size, Intragenic Rate, Exonic Rate, Intronic Rate, Intergenic Rate looks similar and overall alignment rate for bowtie looks similar for replicates.

    My workflow: tophat -> cufflinks -> cuffmerge -> cuffdiff

    The gene_exp.diff results for all replicates and without a1 differ in number of significant genes, from 405 to 168 differential expressed genes.
    What I should do with a1 sample?

    Thank you in advance for your help in this matter.

    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

    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...
