    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.

      16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
      by SEQadmin2





      NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
