Merging stringtie assemblies using stringtie merge
I have a set of 2 transcriptome samples
Sample1 - A. control B. treated
Sample2 - A. control B. treated
I assembled the transcriptome using stringtie
Objective is to compare A vs B for sample1 and A vs B for sample2.
How should I merge the assemblies using stringtie --merge ?
Should I merge assemblies separately for sample 1 and sample 2 or both of them together?
i.e. while running stringtie --merge, should I run in twice; once with a mergelist.txt file for sample1 and then for sample2.

This depends on your hypothesis, but the idea generally is to merge all assembled transcriptomes, so that you have an "experiment-wide transcriptome", rather than stratifying.
