    FPKM formula

    Hi everyone,

    About the FPKM formula, should I use the total number of paired-end reads in the raw fastq file as a normalization term or use the total number of paired-end reads with good qualities ( MAPQ>20) as a normalization term?

    Which one is usually used? The paper just mentioned the total number of reads. It seems to me the number is from raw fastq. But I would think the number of good quality paired-end reads sounds more reasonable. Can someone give me some suggestions?

    Thanks.

    It should be the number of reads you use for alignment, etc. These should be the ones passing your quality criteria.

        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

        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...
