how to extract miRNA spike-in controls from smallRNAseq data
Hi,
I'm processing single end Illumina Hiseq2000 miRNA data. I've got 5 miRNA spike-in controls in my samples. How could I extract those from the rest of my data? I would like to end up with 2 files, one with spikes and the other with my "real" reads.
I read somewhere that I should make a reference file with my spike in sequences for bowtie and then map my reads against it. How should the file look like?
Any other ideas/scripts/commands about solving the issue are of course welcome...

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, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
