Hi Brian. Yes, the reads have been adapter-trimmed. Moreover alignment toward long sequences (whole reference) gives good alignment rate and low while using short (miRBase) sequences.

Ahhh... to clarify, what I meant was NOT adapter trimming reads could cause the bias, but I guess that's out if the reads were successfully trimmed.Comment

I got this problem too. Did you figure out why exactly alignment is better for long sequences than miRBase?Comment

Please don't align directly to the mature.fa, only about 50% of miR reads are the exact mature sequence, you are missing a lot of sequence diversity that will map clearly to the harpin.fa. Calling 3p and 5p arm switching on the other hand, that's a different story.Originally posted by moses122 View PostComment

Thanks for replying. I did mapped to hairpin.fa. The alignment rate is only around 0.01% and it's 90% for genome. I used bowtie and allowed one mismatch.Originally posted by mziemann View PostComment

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...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
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...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
