    Comparing RNA-seq libraries with different levels of PCR duplication

    Hi all,

    We are analyzing a set of RNA-seq libraries and noticed that our libraries have very different levels of PCR duplicates, resulting in very different levels of complexity: some libraries have "many shades" of transcription, while others have lots of genes with low or zero expression or with very high levels, but relatively few intermediates. This is likely due to a combination of technical issues with the library construction and the fact that some libraries had much lower RNA amounts.

    We cannot re-do the experiment or the library sequencing since we are dealing with material that is hard to get by, so we are looking for a statistical or computational method to deal with the PCR duplicates and different levels of library complexity. Any ideas or recommendations for papers published on this subject? I assume we are not the first to have encountered this issue...

    Thanks
    Daniel

    Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
    by seqadmin




    The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...

    New Genomics Tools and Methods Shared at AGBT 2025
    by seqadmin


    This year’s Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting commemorated the 25th anniversary of the event at its original venue on Marco Island, Florida. While this year’s event didn’t include high-profile musical performances, the industry announcements and cutting-edge research still drew the attention of leading scientists.

    The Headliner
    The biggest announcement was Roche stepping back into the sequencing platform market. In the years since...
