    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.

      Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
      by SEQadmin2



      Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

      Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
      by SEQadmin2



      Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

      There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

      Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by GATTACAT
      Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
