  • is this a technical replicate or biological replicate

    i know that biological replicate is one taken from different organism/sample while technical replicate is one from same organism/sample.

    However, I am not able to understand that a cell line treated with a drug three times separately to generate RNA-Seq data will be considered as biological replicate or technical replicate or a biological replicate but not in a strict sense. Also, will this be applicable for control sample?

    Thanks in advance

    I think it would be biological replicates and the same goes for control which should be treated with solvent without the drug. I imagine that there will be other treatments such as exposure time and dose as well in such experiments.

      As the variation during cultering is expected (and often is) far more variable then the technical reproducibility the biological replicate would be to repeat the actual incubations i.e. three times (for a triplicate).
      A technical replicate would be having the same RNA sample sequenced two times (i.e. a duplo).
      Often an experiment is repeated three times, getting n=3 for the experiment and statistics. In the experiment an incubation can be in duplo (i.e. two flasks stimulated with the same compound). Each incubation is then sequenced once.

        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...
