    Calculating expression count values for WGCNA

    Hello all, I am trying to come up with a matrix of expression values for my samples to use in a weighted gene co-expression analysis (WGCNA), but am not sure what the best tool to use is. To date, the majority of my analysis has been done using the Galaxy platform. I have files with differential expression values between samples/treatments (using CuffDiff) but from my understanding, I cannot use these since they are biased(?)

    Should I: 1) begin my entire analysis from scratch on the command line so that I am consistent with treatment; 2) use Galaxy up until a certain point (after concatenating, quality-trimming, and removal of adapters from my fasq files), or 3) use Galaxy through the whole process until I have the data to feed into the WGCNA package ?

    Thank you for your time.

    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.
