A toy example showing how the PCR amplification may result in sampling zeros. Five genes have their cDNAs amplified by PCR. After the non-linear amplification, their relative proportions change. If the sequencing depth is limited to 52 reads, the first gene has sampling zeros in three out of five hypothetical sequencing experiments
