  • 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.

                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...

                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...
