  • miRDeep2 and adapter trimming

    I am trying to align a miRNA-seq FASTQ file using the mapper.pl from miRDeep2 but I am not having any luck.

    The reads in the FASTQ file are ~50bp.

    I am not sure where my mistake is as I get 46380 reads mapped (less than 1.6% of total reads). This is my code

    Code:
    mapper.pl /mnt/d/work/NNNN_1_SAMPLE1_ATCACGA_S2_L001_R1_001.fastq -e -h -j -k ATCACGA -l 16 -m -p GRCh38_primary_assembly_genome -s /mnt/d/work/tools/mirdeep2/test/2.collapsed_reads.fa -
    t /mnt/d/work/tools/mirdeep2/test/2.grch38.arf -n -v
    I think my mistake is with the adapter sequence. The adapter for this sample is ATCACGA (it is in the sample name too). I looked at this website illumina-adapter-and-primer-sequences/ and my samples (I do have more) follow the TruSeq™ DNA Sample Prep Kit v2 but if I try to put a longer adapter (TruSeq Adapter, Index 1) I just get +- 10000 mapped reads.

    I am not sure how to proceed. Any help would be appreciated.

    I think I fixed it. The adapter for my files should be TGGAATTCTCGGGTGCCAAGG. From what-sequences-do-i-use-for-adapter-trimming under the category of TruSeq Small RNA.

    Now I get ~60% mapping. I am not sure if this is sufficient, though.

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
