Can we expect human mitochondrial sequence in Human RNA-seq library? I mean does the presence of mitochondrial sequence in RNA-seq data stands biological significance or likely a result of contamination?
I have over-represented sequences (>0.1% of total reads, up to 0.35%) in my RNA-seq library. Is this normal? Should I be excluding these "contaminating" sequences or leave them as they might reflect some expressed mitochondrial genes?
thoughts please?
