    SOLiD Adaptor sequences

    Hello,
    I am trying to analyze a few SOLiD samples with miRDeep2 in order to find known/novel microRNAs.
    The raw reads are all 35 nt long and miRDeep2 requires the 3' adapter sequence in order to trim it.
    LifeTech support has provided me with the Internal Adapter sequence CGCCTTGGCCGTACAGCAG, but I was only able to trim 0.1% of reads by using cutadapt and 8% of them by using the Clip adapter sequence on Galaxy.
    When I provided miRDeep2 with that sequence it was able to map very few reads, so this makes me think that the adapter sequence is not correct.

    I don't know if this helps, but here are some information on the kit used:

    NEBNext Small RNA Library Prep Set for SOLiD (NEB cat. no. E6160)
    SOLiD™ RNA Barcoding Kit, Modules 1-16 (Ambion cat. no. 4427046)
    SOLiD™ RNA Barcoding Kit, Modules 17-32 (Ambion cat. no. 4453189)

    Does anyone have any clue what the problem is and/or how I can get the correct adapter sequence?

    microRNAs are approximatelly 21nt long. If your reads are 35nt long than the adapter sequence should be 14nt long. Try to use a subset of the given adapter sequence.

      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
