Great post James – really informative. Do you have any tips on the practical aspect of NGS e.g. for library prep?
Cheers,
Rob
Great list! You may want to add (for pathogen/infectious disease people):

** Excellent paper – although I think 500M reads for mammalian transcriptome RNA-Seq is overkill for most applications.
