"A well established issue in next-generation sequencing, including both whole genome
DNA sequencing and methylation sequencing, is the presence of batch effects. These
batch effects are “a pattern of variation due to the merging of data sets produced
separately that can confound or mask biological patterns. While usually mitigated by
randomization or consistency in methods (e.g., library preparation and sequencing
procedure), batch effect represents a major concern for studies carried over several
years or across multiple laboratories, as well as for reanalysis of public data sets.”
