Does cDNA library size have any effect on sequencing or downstream differential gene expression analysis?

03 November 2021 1 5K Report

I have prepared cDNA libraries. Library size is large in a few of my samples (680-777 bp, including adapters), does large library size have any effect on RNAseq (NovaSeq) or downstream analysis? I plan to do differential gene expression analysis.
