  • RNA kinds expected in RNA-seq results

    Hi,

    We use RNA isolation and library preparation protocols which capture polyadenylated RNA. My question is what kinds of RNA can we expect to show up in results? At the moment, we get long non-coding RNAs, MIRs, SNORs, processed transcripts and pseudogenes. Is this to be expected?

    Best regards,
    Marcin.

    It's pretty strange to find miRNAs because there are not polyA in their mature state (only poly-A in the pri-miRNA state)

      We do find that we pick up reads that map to lots of these non-coding RNAs, but that they actually throw off the FPKM calculations quite a bit. I remove anything that I don't trust from my GTF file for cufflinks, and that improves the cross-sample reliability quite a bit.

        Careful, sometimes miRNAs are coincident with potential intronic segments of immature coding RNAs. Example : MIR26A2 "intronic" to CTDSP. Also, though the protocol maybe be "polya", other transcripts may show up. I don't know why, but it happens.

          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...
