  • SUM reads of technical replicates-MiSeq

    Hi,
    I am quite new to NGS sequencing and have some issues with my data analysis. I sequenced 160 biological samples using MiSeq (18S RDNA), each with one technical replicate, meaning I used DNA from one sample twice, resulting in 2 samples per animal.All were sequenced on the same lane.
    I used the Qiime pipeline to analyse the data down to an OTU table, because I want to look for certain parasites.
    Now I am not sure what to do with the technical replicates as they are somehow pseudoreplicates. If I look at specific OTUs and compare the read number between the two, they differ from each other. What do I do now? If I average them, a lot of information gets lost, but I´m not sure if I can simply sum them up per OTU. I read the paper of Marioni et al,2008, but I`m still not sure if its really dealing with the same problem, because it compares different lanes.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you

    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...
