  • mRNA-seq illumina GAII - microRNAs?

    Hi,
    I have a question about finding pre-miRNAs precursor sequences among dataset from mRNA-seq? Is it possible since it is polyA method or the protocol preparation is somehow filtering only protein-coding long transcripts and it is highly unlikly to find miRNA precursors/transcripts among mRNA-seq data?

    Thanks

    same question but with a TruSeq small RNA library kit and 36nt long reads.

      We definitely see pre-miRNA in our RNA-seq data sets. We use the TruSeq RNA kit which of course does a polyA pull down. We align to RefSeq and there are about 760 mirs in the mouse database. They are denoted with NR_xxxxxxx IDs. With the small RNA library prep I don't see them because I do a small RNA isolation step prior to library production which will get rid of the pre-mirs. I would assume that if you generated small RNA libraries on total RNA then you might get them based on which peaks you end up recovering after library amplification.

        Thanks brooksma,

        Do you know some papers talking about RNA-seq and pri-miRNA detection ?

          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...
