  • If I delete one sample do I have to redo DNA methylation data preprocessing

    I have DNA methylation data for 532 samples. I did process .idat files for all samples together and got normalized beta values for all samples. One out of 532 samples has missing beta vlaues for 5500 probes. I decided to delete this sample.
    Question: Do I have to redo the data preprocessing? I think converting image data (.idat) to signal strength wouldn't change, but normalization would change with different set of samples, even if there is only one sample difference.

    You didn't say what program you used. That might help people figure out the answer. Also how long does the pre-processing take? If a short time then, sure, re-process.

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

      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...
