I want to do some miRNA-seq of mouse, how many reads from Hiseq is enough for my further research? 10M, 20M or 30M?
-
-
I think 10M is more than ok even for human for a regular miRNA job?
They say 6M clean reads are more than ok.------------

OK, i see. what standard should i take for the enough of a miRNA job? Coverage? Number of Reads?Comment
-
number of usable reads, i would say.
i agree that ~10M is more than fine.Comment
-
usable reads? clean reads?
clean reads: the reads passed the filter
usable reads: maybe the reads mapping to the genome or miRbase
i don't know wheather i am right.Comment
-
usable reads: the number of reads you end up using for miRNA profiling.
depending on contamination with other RNAs, adapter dimers, etc .. this might be significantly lower than the number of sequenced reads.Comment

thanks. I think i knowComment

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
