The devil in the details of RNA-seq
http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v32/n9/full/nbt.3015.html#affil-auth
RNA-seq is clearly superior to microarrays for its ability for de novo discovery and detection of genes, especially those with low expression levels. The detection of alternative splicing patterns is possible, but attention needs to be paid to the underlying gene annotation, and parameters such as mapping and error rates become more important than sequencing depth.

High-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) enables comprehensive scans of entire transcriptomes, but best practices for analyzing RNA-seq data have not been fully defined, particularly for data collected with multiple sequencing platforms or at multiple sites. Here we used standardized RNA samples with built-in controls to examine sources of error in large-scale RNA-seq studies and their impact on the detection of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Analysis of variations in guanine-cytosine content, gene coverage, sequencing error rate and insert size allowed identification of decreased reproducibility across sites. Moreover, commonly used methods for normalization (cqn, EDASeq, RUV2, sva, PEER) varied in their ability to remove these systematic biases, depending on sample complexity and initial data quality. Normalization methods that combine data from genes across sites are strongly recommended to identify and remove site-specific effects and can substantially improve RNA-seq studies.
