A comparison of Illumina and Ion Torrent sequencing platforms in the context of differential gene expression

Abstract Background Though Illumina has largely dominated the RNA-Seq field, the simultaneous availability of Ion Torrent has left scientists wondering which platform is most effective for differential gene expression (DGE) analysis. Previous investigations of this question have typically used refer...
