    Basemean threshold

    I have an rna seq dataset and I am using Deseq2 to find differentially expressed genes between the two groups. However, I also want to remove genes in low counts by using a base mean threshold. I used pre-filtering to remove any genes that have no counts or only one count across the samples, however, I also want to remove those that have low counts compared to the rest of the genes. Is there a common threshold used for the basemean or a way to work out what this threshold should be?

    Thank you

    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

    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...
