  • RT-PCR vs Next Gen Sequencing

    Hi,

    I'm looking after a way to compare ( differential expression ) Next Gen sequencing ( illumina ) and RT-PCR ( Applied TaqMan cards ) in the mirna field. We've the same samples for the two experiments of course.

    Anyone has an idea ?

    Thanks,

    Nicolas

      For comparing samples of Illumina data I would use a Fisher Exact Test on quantile-normalized read counts to get a probability that two samples are the same. I'm not sure how I would do the same comparison for RT-PCR because I haven't done much experimentation with that.

      Comparing the Illumina directly to the RT-PCR will be difficult, because they will have different biases, distributions, etc. It would be best to compare two conditions on Illumina and the same two conditions with RT-PCR and see if they get the same or similar differences. You might be able to use some kind of T-test for that, but there may be easier tests to use. It will probably depend quite a bit on your experimental design how to best design the statistical testing.

        There are a number of papers in the literature making this comparison; perhaps you should start there?

        Try PubMed search for "rna-seq AND (rt-pcr OR qpcr)"

          Its good to compare the NGS data with QPCR rather than RT-PCR.

            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...
