We are also planning some sRNA-seq in which we expect large differences in piRNA expression, and are thinking about these spike-ins. However we are still undecided and I would like to hear what experiences people have with this.

All the packages (edgeR, DESeq, RUVseq) use read counts, which is what you should get when you process your data anyway.

Normalize small RNA data with spike-in controls?
Dear all,
I am planning to sequence small RNAs from my control and mutant cells and I was wondering what is the best way to normalize the data. My initial data shows that the small RNAs in wild-type are coming from the entire genome (sequencing) and the mutants show reduced levels of small RNAs (based on PAGE gel analysis from equal amounts of RNA). However, if the mutants make all small RNAs proportionally less, how do I normalize? Has anyone had luck using small control RNAs as spike-ins? My concern is that the sequence of the control RNA could control ligation efficiency and have some potential sequencing bias.
Additionally, can someone comment on whether I absolutely need biological duplicates for comparisons? Can DEseq or EdgeR packages be used without replicates?
Thanks in advance

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
