Hi Everyone,
I'm a graduate student at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, working in the field of vector-borne infectious disease (specifically arboviruses). I've been doing a lot of sRNA sequencing as of late using the Illumina platform, and I'm definitely having to learn a lot in a short period of time regarding dealing with the massive amounts of data NGS provides. Looking forward to increasing my knowledge here~!

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.
