    Scriptminer Small RNA-seq library troubles

    Hi!

    I have a question regarding my small-RNA library results on my bioanalyzer.
    Recording to the scriptminer protocol you should get a peak around 150 bp (including adapters and miRNA (18-40 nt).
    Attached you find my bioanalyzer results on CD4 cells (RIN 9.0)
    Library 1 is totRNA from manufacturer. THis looks just like it should be. The 3 next libraries is my CD4 human cells. Here i have DNA around 150 bp, but i also got a peak around 200 bp. Is this normal? Is it just larger rna fragments in these type of cells?
    I also did a small-RNA library prep in wheat cells. Here my results showed a peak that had an area from 150 bp- 300 bp) Should i just go further with the rest of my samples?

    Hi,
    Just a couple of questions; how do you get the Total/miRNA? I'm not sure about Scritpminer initial steps protocol, do you size select or use another kit (mirVana??).
    The only way to know (I think) what you have in there is by colony screening (before sending to the Illumina machine); so you'll have an idea of potential contaminats in your library (rRNA...) and its proportion.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by SEQadmin2


      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

      From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
      by SEQadmin2


      Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


      The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
