initial amount of total RNA or enriched small rna for small rna seq
Hi everyone,
many thanks
We are planing to small RNA sequencing using Illumina Genome Analyzer (Solexa), my question is how much the initial amount of total RNA should be in general ? or enriched small rna?
many thanks

Which species? And how about the length restriction?
For what we did for human and other mammals at the length range less than 40nt, the most of final results were known miRNAs, about occupied 80~90% or even more. let-7 families were the highest abundant families. -
First, thanks ishmael for your response
We want to sequence two endemic fish species whose genome are not sequenced and annotated in database. Our study mainly covers the microRNA sequencing and their proposed relatively lenght is between 18-30 nt. My question is how much (ng or ug) the initial RNA quantity (small enriched rna or total rna) should be?
thanks...Comment

Sorry, I forget the topic is about library preparationOriginally posted by Deli Çoban View Post
Guys in our wet lab said it is hard to say the mass of total RNAs, may be 1mg? They just followed the protocols. Sometimes only when the sequencing finished then you know if the exaction is messed up or not. In the beginning, some sequencing batches of our samples were full of adaptor sequences only, useless

During the library preparation, approximately 1 ug (< 50 pb) enriched small RNA sould be suffecient to get proper sequences for illumnia hiseq2000, according to friends who runs this machine routinely. But, now I embark on collecting part of article about my subject. And, I am planing to list this information here.

Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing... -
The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
This convergence of genetics, immunology, and computation...09-01-2026, 05:41 AM
