Is it common that two publications have the same GEO accession code?

The links for the two papers are listed below: https://www.nature.com/articles/nmeth.4407#accession-codes https://www.nature.com/articles/nn.4216#Abs2

Both of them used GSE71585 as accession code.

rna-seq

if they analysed the same dataset, that is possible yes.

if that is not the case there might have been an error/typo indeed.

There are 3 different platforms

GPL13112    Illumina HiSeq 2000 (Mus musculus)
GPL16417    Illumina MiSeq (Mus musculus)
GPL17021    Illumina HiSeq 2500 (Mus musculus)

and 1800+ samples in the GEO accession you listed so it is reasonable for multiple publications to list the same accession.

this looks like a typo and/or incorrect cross linking

the correct accession for the DroNc-seq paper is GSE104525
