  • library concentrations variations

    Hi, everyone,

    I made four libraries this week. But today when I ran a DNA gel, I found that the concentrations (DNA band intensity) of the four libraries have great difference. The concentration of the highest one is about 3 times of the lowest one. I am supposed to compare gene expression level changes among these four libraries. I wonder whether the library concentrations difference will affect RNA-sequencing results. For example, some reads may overpresent the library. Does anyone have similar situation?

    Thanks!

    Standard RNA-seq analysis using FPKM is robust to (or, one might say, 'ignorant of') the absolute difference between sample concentrations, and only sensitive to relative differences between gene expressions. In other words, if you sequence the same sample twice - once at full concentration and once diluted by 50% - it shouldn't show any gene expression changes if you go by FPKM, other than in genes with only a very few reads mapped.

        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...
