    RNA-seq depth for lncRNA quantification

    HI, guys , i have 6 human cell samples preparing for RNA-seq to do mRNA expression and lncRNA expression meta-analysis. However, i am not sure how many reads or depth are enough to my analysis.
    Someone told me that, for lncRNA analysis, there must be at least 9-10G raw data (PE100) by sequencing total RNA (only rRNA were removed). An alternative strategy is just sequencing the ployA enriched RNAs ,of which data volume should be at least 5G relatively (PE100).
    Indeed, I just want perform an expression analysis without novel lncRNA detection, so I think the SE50 can be suitable for quatifing those known lncRNA transcripts. Could anyone can make me know the minimum reads number or depth to do this work by SE50 in either strategy mentioned above.
    Many thanks!

    Genohub has a guide available (https://genohub.com/next-generation-sequencing-guide/). Look for depth of coverage for RNA. Though the guide does not specifically address lncRNA it should give you some points to consider.

      thanks a lot, i also browsed this page http://www.rna-seqblog.com/how-many-reads-are-enough/, which both makes me a little clear now.

        Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
        by SEQadmin2



        CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

        Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

        Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
        by SEQadmin2


        Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

        The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
