  • how many reads is enough in miRNA-seq

    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?

        number of usable reads, i would say.
        i agree that ~10M is more than fine.

          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.

            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.

                Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
                by seqadmin


                The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...

                Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
                by seqadmin


                Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
