Hello all,
We recently received our RNA-seq data from the vendor. We sequenced 8 libraries as a pool and we were supposed to get around 30M reads for each sample. After reviewing the data, we saw uneven read number for the samples ranging from around 13M to 43M. According to the vendor, they did perform q-PCR to quantify the libraries and the explanation was that the libraries behave differently when pooled together.
So how accurately can we control the read distribution among libraries in the pool? Is it normal to see variation this big? Really appreciate if anyone can share experience.
