Valuable lessons-learned in transcriptomics experimentation

Transcription. 2015;6(3):51-5. doi: 10.1080/21541264.2015.1064195.

Abstract

We have collected several valuable lessons that will help improve transcriptomics experimentation. These lessons relate to experiment design, execution, and analysis. The cautions, but also the pointers, may help biologists avoid common pitfalls in transcriptomics experimentation and achieve better results with their transcriptome studies.

Keywords: Design for experimentation; Transcriptomics; experimental analysis; experimental execution; lessons-learned.
