I will sequence DNA and RNA from grassland soils using Illumina HiSeq to see differences in composition and functionality (removing 16S). I will use DNA sequencing as a reference to align RNA. I need to establish the paramenters to do the senquencing, 2x100? 2x140? 2x200? I also need to know the minimum reads per sample I will need to see reliable results... 20M? 45M? 60M?

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.
