On the utility of RNA sample pooling to optimize cost and statistical power in RNA sequencing experiments
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that pooling strategies in RNA-seq studies can be both cost-effective and powerful when the number of pools, pool size and sequencing depth are optimally defined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential gene expression analysis tools exhibit substandard performance for long non-coding RNA-sequencing data.

TL;DR: Overall, linear modeling with empirical Bayes moderation (limma) and a non-parametric approach (SAMSeq) showed good control of the false discovery rate and reasonable sensitivity, and the substandard performance of DE tools for lncRNAs applies also to low-abundance mRNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
SPsimSeq: semi-parametric simulation of bulk and single-cell RNA-sequencing data.
TL;DR: SPsimSeq is a semi-parametric simulation method to generate bulk and single-cell RNA-sequencing data that is reasonably flexible to accommodate a wide range of experimental scenarios, including different sample sizes, biological signals and confounding batch effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correction to: On the utility of RNA sample pooling to optimize cost and statistical power in RNA sequencing experiments.
TL;DR: An amendment to this paper has been published and can be accessed via the original article.

SPsimSeq: semi-parametric simulation of bulk and single cell RNA sequencing data
TL;DR: This method constructs an empirical distribution of gene expression data from a given source RNA-seq experiment to faithfully capture the data characteristics of real data, and can be used to simulate a wide range of scenarios, such as single or multiple biological groups, systematic variations, and different sample sizes.
