  • Can I put single and pair-ended RNAseq data together in DESeq analysis

    I have RNA-seq data from Illumina GA (single-ended)and Hiseq (pair-ended). Just wonder if I could put them together in differential gene expression analysis. I know pair-end is much better than single-end in accuracy. But not sure if it is reasonable to put them together in the analysis. many thanks

    No, paired-end is not better in accuracy. At least, for simple differential expression analysis, it does not make much of a difference.

    As for your question, the answer is: It depends.

    Hence, please always give details on your experimental design when posting a question here,

      Thank you for reply.
      I have 10 samples in treatment and 12 samples in untreatment group. In treatment, I have 5 single and 5 pair-ended samples. In untreatment, I have 8 single and 3 pair-ended samples.
      Sorry, I am not the person who designed the experiment. Have no idea why they put it into such way. But I have to do the data analysis.

      Many thanks.

        Well, as long as you have both platforms in both conditions, this is fine. Just treat the library type as a covariate, as in the example in the vignette. (There, we used on purpose a dataset with such a mixture of single-end and paired-end data to demonstrate how to use covariates.)

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
