    Probability of sequencing low abundant transcripts from non-normalized library

    Dear users,

    I am new to this community and this is my first thread, I am also new to next generation sequencing analysis but I have interesting issue and I want to get some feedback from you. Thanks in advance for any replies!

    Here is a scenario:
    > non-normalized eukaryotic transcriptome library
    > 3' Tag Sequencing; Reads of 100nts length; Illumina HiSeq 2000 Single Reads Machine

    Two sequencing Attempts:
    1) 50 Million Reads at one run with starting RNA consentration X
    2) 3 Runs with respectively 10MilReads, 20MilReads, 20 MilReads with starting RNA concentration X

    The RNA concentration is the same in the sample before any of the four runs!

    Question: Do I get the same set of transcriptome representation between attempt 1 and attempt 2?

    Note: Assuming that the probability of getting a very low abundant transcript is constant between runs, i would expect that the chance of observing these transcript in a smaller sampling size is less than in a higher sampling size

    Predicted observation: In the second attempt after adding results I would expect that the transcriptome is overwhelmed only by transcripts of higher concentration in the sample, while I would expect to get more less abundant transcrips in the one time sequencing run with 50MilReads (attempt 1)

    Thank you for your discussions!

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

    We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
