    cummeRbund MDS and PCA plot explanation

    Hello folks,

    I have limited understanding of RNA seq data analysis. I am using cufflink pipeline to analyse my RNAseq data comprising 1 treatment and 1 control. Three biological replicates in each condition. Can anybody help me whether I should trust my data based on the MDS plot? Any other suggestion to correct if there are any biases in the sample?

    Thanks

    I'm not an expert but if your replicates are closer to replicates from another condition than they are to each other, I can see a problem. Surely replicates from a single condition should cluster?

      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.
