Hello all! I need to analyze some RNAseq data in .wig (wiggle) format, that I obtained from a paper, but I am unfamiliar with this format. I want to filter for a certian set of genes (ovary related) and then sort based on differential expression. Have you had experience with .wig files? Can anyone point me in a helpfull direction?

I found a post on BioStar that suggested using BEDOPS to convert to the more common BED file and proceed in analysis from there.Comment

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.
