    How many inputs for each replicate/cell line

    I have some samples ready to sequence but I having some doubts about the number of inputs to sequence.

    The samples come from 2 human cell lines, the same original line but each stably expressing a modified factor (from a BAC), and for each cell line there are 2 biological replicates of:
    Input
    GFP ip
    Pol II ip

    The inputs will be sequenced at ~60M the IPs ~30M and there is one input per cell line per replicate. I will sequence one input of each cell line but I don't know whether to sequence both input replicates per cell line - it seems like an overkill.

    What do you suggest?

    Also, are 30M reads (75 bp, SE) for the ips too much? I have no expectations about the profile of the ChIPed factors.

    Thanks

    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...
