  • small ran seq illumina

    Hello,

    We just sequenced the banks you made from your NEBNext Small RNA kit.


    On the other hand, it is totally impossible for us to analyze the data, you can see that the sequences contain almost only N after demultiplexing, while the quality of the sequencing run is perfect.

    You are going to need to provide more information than that to get useful help. If the reads only contain N's after demultiplexing then there is not much you can do but start diagnosing what went wrong. First with the run and then work backwards all the way to the sample prep, if needed.

      for the quality of the run it was very good,
      but the fastQ file contains almost 90% of N
      and no miRNA

        What sequencer was this run on? What kind of chemistry was used? If 90% of your reads at N's then that is not a good run.

          but the result of the run shows that it is of good quality it is a "miseq illumina"
          with a NEB bank preparation

            I just ran a MiSeq V3 150 cycles run (SR 50 bp only) with 12 libraries preparation with the "NEBNext Small RNA kit" from NEB. I also launched a adaptor trimming after the run (TruSeq adaptor).
            Library profils are OK :


            We have a problem because the run quality and demultiplexing are perfect to me.

            But when we look at the fastQ files (for all of the samples), samples have approximatly 1.5M raw reads but almost 90% of the sequences are "N" with a very bad Qscore.

            For example, I send you a sample fastQ file "86CorG1".
            Post trimming : sequences are +/- 35 bp long (what we are expected).
            Post filtration on a Q20 (to eliminate the "N" sequences) : 179.595 reads remained.
            After analysis on BaseSpase : no miRNA detected.

            Do you have an explanation for that? How is it possible that the quality run has a Q30 but the individual sample is at Q2-Q3 only?
            Can the problem came from the adaptor trimming?

            Thank you for your help,
            Best,

              Take a look at this thread, it addresses the same issue you are having.
              Bridged amplification & clustering followed by sequencing by synthesis. (Genome Analyzer / HiSeq / MiSeq)


              After trimming the adapters on the MiSeq you are left with short sequences that MiSeq Reporter masks with NNNs.

                @josh: Thanks for the reminder.

                @[email protected]: Re-demux the run without the adapter sequence in SampleSheet. You can then remove the adapter sequences with a different program. I recommend bbduk.sh from BBMap suite with literal=your_RNA_adapter_sequence option.

                  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...
