  • miRNA mapping w/ Novoalign

    Hi all,

    I am trying to map two mature miRNA sequences to the human genome. My background is not bioinformatics or comp-sci but, having searched the web, I am under the impression I need to use Novoalign or Bowtie.

    The problem is that when I get to these websites and read about how to use these programs, my eyes gloss over and I am like

    Reading the help guides has not added any clarity.

    Can anyone help a non-computer person understand how to use Novoalign? I am using a MacOSx. I am not sure if I need adapter stripping - all I know is that the miRNA I want to map are "mature" sequences from the literature.

    If all you're after is information on two known miRNAs then you need to go the miRBase website: http://www.mirbase.org

    You can search the database by miRNA name or by sequence.

    No need for any bioinformatics or compsci

      Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
      by seqadmin




      The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...
