Currently there are no sequencing based methods that allow you to use the same sample to simultaneously sequence both large and small RNA. Remember, different transcript sizes, which could yield significantly different library sizes would also pose issues with sequencing. Clustering bias could be a real issue. Unless you have limited samples, split the isolate, and sequence in different lanes(if you have a HiSeq)

I have gone through the nanoString "nCounter miRGE Assay" but this gives information about the expression studies whereas I am searching for integrated mRNA and miRNA seq protocol. Could you please tell if you have done such integrated sequencing, also it would be a great help if you have come across any such related articles.

If there is a rRNA deplation reagent for your species then it is easy. Deplete rRNA and adjust washing steps to keep small RNA in. Then fragment the RNA and treat with PNK to phosphorylate the 5' ends. Small RNA-Seq library prep method or kit can be used for library prep from this material. You will need to skip size selection step after PCR which is performed for Small RNA library.

Originally posted by amrita308 View Posti am curious whether if it can be done in this way : First doing rRNA depletion and then fragmenting the whole mRNA and miRNA's into same size , followed by end repairing, adapter ligation and size selection. Any suggestion?
miRNA size is 21bp, but the miRNA library size is 140-170nt+ depending on size. These libraries consist of 3'/5' adapters for size elongation for sequencer compatibility. plus the platform specific adapters. The presence of small libraries compared to library sizes for transcriptome would be different. Plus what read length are you reading? small RNA is 50-75bp, large RNA 150+
Im not saying you CANNOT do it, but the data itself will be challenged.
Garbage in, garbage out....it would literally be cheaper per usable mapped, de-duplicated, read to separate and sequence.

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...-

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...-
