I am looking for a FASTA file and GTF file that I can use to align my RNA seq (Hiseq) data and then anotate differential expressed genes. I looked at Xebase database, Ensembel but could not find these files. Can someone point me to a DB where I can find X tropicalis FASTA and GTF/ Gff files.

Ensembl download page
Species table in the middle of page. Type 'Xenopus' in the Filter box (right side of table header). There are links to download whole genome FASTA, cDNA FASTA, CDS FASTA, etc as well as GTF/GFF3 annotation files.

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.
