**How many **replicates** do I need for an RNA differential expression analyse?**
In order to calculate the ***significance*** of the difference between a ***control sample*** and a sample undergone some ***treatment*** in an DGE experiment it is strongly advisable to have replicates for the control and the treated sample. Based on an experiment in yeast, 6 replicated would be a minimum.

In many experiment 3 replicates are used, being a comprise between power and cost.
