Does anyone have any advice on denoising Illumina reads (specifically 16s reads from a HiSeq)? I've had a look in the literature and most of the denoising algorithms available seem to be aimed at 454 sequencing (and not really applicable to Illumina since they work on flowgram files). The only real possibility seems to be Rosen et al (2012). I would be very interested to hear about anyone's experience using this or any other approach for denoising Illumina data.

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.
