  • 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.

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

      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...
