I want to do some miRNA-seq of mouse, how many reads from Hiseq is enough for my further research? 10M, 20M or 30M?

-
I think 10M is more than ok even for human for a regular miRNA job?
They say 6M clean reads are more than ok.------------

OK, i see. what standard should i take for the enough of a miRNA job? Coverage? Number of Reads?Comment
-
number of usable reads, i would say.
i agree that ~10M is more than fine.Comment
-
usable reads? clean reads?
clean reads: the reads passed the filter
usable reads: maybe the reads mapping to the genome or miRbase
i don't know wheather i am right.Comment
-
usable reads: the number of reads you end up using for miRNA profiling.
depending on contamination with other RNAs, adapter dimers, etc .. this might be significantly lower than the number of sequenced reads.Comment

thanks. I think i knowComment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
