Hi all
I have two runs of RNA-seq data from the same experiment, 4 WT and 4 KO mice. The second run was made because the first one yielded very few reads. Strictly speaking, the second run is a technical replicate of the first.
My question is this,
Can i merge this technical replicates to get more coverage in the DE analysis?
if i merge this replicates, am i introducing some biases in the proportions of the transcripts?
Thanks in advance!!
