Very high cross-replicate variability
This section assesses Cuffdiff's power and sensitivity when cross-replicate variability is extremely high. In such settings, substantial power should be gained by adding additional replicates to the experiment. The section includes up to 10 replicates in each condition. To highlight the benefit of added replication, and to make the simulation slighlty less onerous on our testing servers, we have also reduced sequencing depth to approximately 4 million paired end reads per replicate.
