  • miRNA mapping w/ Novoalign

    Hi all,

    I am trying to map two mature miRNA sequences to the human genome. My background is not bioinformatics or comp-sci but, having searched the web, I am under the impression I need to use Novoalign or Bowtie.

    The problem is that when I get to these websites and read about how to use these programs, my eyes gloss over and I am like

    Reading the help guides has not added any clarity.

    Can anyone help a non-computer person understand how to use Novoalign? I am using a MacOSx. I am not sure if I need adapter stripping - all I know is that the miRNA I want to map are "mature" sequences from the literature.

    If all you're after is information on two known miRNAs then you need to go the miRBase website: http://www.mirbase.org

    You can search the database by miRNA name or by sequence.

    No need for any bioinformatics or compsci

      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...
