Regarding reads number for mapping

Hi dear guys

How can I determine the appropriate number of reads for mapping onto Mus musculus ref genome and as much as possible cover all transcripts completely

Thank you

though you question makes some sense, you will need to provide a bit more info on what you're planning to achieve, what input data you (might) have, .... things like that to get a meaningful & usable answer

This is a generic recommendation. If you are looking for subtle differences then you may need to sequence deeper (i.e. more reads) and also include more biological replicates.
