Bias in RNA-seq Library Preparation: Current Challenges and Solutions.

Although RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has become the most advanced technology for transcriptome analysis, it also confronts various challenges. As we all know, the workflow of RNA-seq is extremely complicated and it is easy to produce bias. This may damage the quality of RNA-seq dataset and lead to an incorrect interpretation for sequencing result. Thus, our detailed understanding of the source and nature of these biases is essential for the interpretation of RNA-seq data, finding methods to improve the quality of RNA-seq experimental, or development bioinformatics tools to compensate for these biases. Here, we discuss the sources of experimental bias in RNA-seq. And for each type of bias, we discussed the method for improvement, in order to provide some useful suggestions for researcher in RNA-seq experimental.
