Overlooked poor-quality patient samples in sequencing data impair reproducibility of published clinically relevant datasets | Genome Biology | Full Text (genomebiology.biomedcentral.com)

From the conclusions of paper:

we demonstrate that quality imbalance between groups of samples can significantly reduce the relevance of differential genes, consequently reducing reproducibility between studies. Appropriate experimental design and analysis methods can substantially reduce the problem.
