Increasingly, I think one of the most important questions people need to ask (and answer) themselves is "How much is enough?"

I would also very much like a mixed model in edgeR 😉

afaik (given I haven't been an active developer for years), it hasn't been possible to implement a mixed model in a way that's compatible with the empirical Bayes information sharing...and for edgeR eBayes is more important if there's a tradeoff
