  • Batch effect

    Hello everyone,

    What is batch effect in rna-seq? How to check if one has it?
    Any tools or links or documents would be great!

    Thanks in advance

    Batch effect means that if I prep three samples, and a co-worker preps replicates of the same three samples, (Or I can prep three samples one day, and prep replicates of them the next day) you can look at the data, and say: "These three samples were prepped in one batch, and these three were prepped in another batch". Not good.

    So you should do some trial experiments in your lab, to see how large batch effects are in your lab. It mostly depends on how careful the people prepping the samples are, some batch effect is likely inevitable. When possible, all the samples of a particular project should be all prepped together, by the same person, to minimize possible batch effects.

          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...
