Multiple freeze-thaw cycles lead to a loss of consistency in poly(A)-enriched RNA sequencing

Abstract Background Both RNA-Seq and sample freeze-thaw are ubiquitous. However, knowledge about the impact of freeze-thaw on downstream analyses is limited. The lack of common quality metrics that are sufficiently sensitive to freeze-thaw and RNA degradation, e.g. the RNA Integrity Score, makes suc...
