A field-wide assessment of differential RNAseq reveals ubiquitous bias

We analyzed the field of expression profiling by high throughput sequencing, or RNA-seq, in terms of replicability and reproducibility, using data from the GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) repository. Our work puts an upper bound of 56% to field-wide reproducibility, based on the types of files submitted to GEO. 

Archived dataset contains four files in csv format:

- output/parsed_suppfiles.csv,  p-value histograms, histogram classes, estimated number of true null hypotheses (pi0)

- output/document_summaries.csv, document summaries of GEO series

- output/publications.csv, publication info of GEO series

- output/scopus_citedbycount.csv, Scopus citation info of GEO series
