  • How to distribute samples into multiple libraries

    Dear community,

    I am complete newbie to all of this; I apologize for my glaring naïveté in advance.

    My issue: I do not know how to distribute my RNA samples into three libraries such that they are equally balanced and unbiased for RNAseq.

    My RNA samples are from patient biopsies obtained from multiple institutions, extracted on different days, and from a heterogeneous patient population.

    I have multiple variables that I would like to balance between the three libraries, including, but not limited to:

    -Disease State
    -Disease Score
    -Patient Age
    -Patient Sex
    -Clinic

    Additionally, I would also like to balance the libraries in terms of RNA quality (RIN), date of extraction, and who did the extraction...

    Overall, my goal is to get three libraries that are equally weighted for everyone of those factors I listed (and likely more...). Is this a good strategy? And if so, how would you go about doing this?

    Thank you for any tips or resources!

    -Punty

    I don't fully understand what you are asking but is this with reference to downstream data analysis (factors to be added in model). Is that correct?

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
