Hi,
I'm hoping to get an idea of average alignment stats for miRNAseq (human only). Please could anyone working in this area reply with an overview of their experiments (type of tissue/RNA extracted/library prep kit/sequencer) and the rough % of total reads and/or those passing QC that align to a) miRbase precursors and/or b) the human genome. NB looking for read stats not unique sequence stats (i.e. counting collapsed reads by the number of times they are observed)
As an example, in our work:
Total RNA used in NEB Next small RNA prep kit and sequenced on HiSeq2000. QC is removal of adapters and then removal of reads <13bp.
Cell lines: 87% (+/= 9%) of reads pass QC and, of those, 33% (+/- 15%) align to miRbase precursors.
FFPE: 80% (+/- 10%) of reads pass QC. Of those, 3% (+/- 1%) align to miRbase precursors and a further 65% (+/- 5%) align elsewhere in the human genome.
It would be interesting to see how this compares
Cheers
