Is anyone willing/able to give an overview of the % of reads they get aligning to miRbase for fresh/FFPE miRNAseq? -
Quick poll: miRNAseq alignment stats
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

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM -
During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...09-09-2024, 10:59 AM
