Hi Brian. Yes, the reads have been adapter-trimmed. Moreover alignment toward long sequences (whole reference) gives good alignment rate and low while using short (miRBase) sequences.

Ahhh... to clarify, what I meant was NOT adapter trimming reads could cause the bias, but I guess that's out if the reads were successfully trimmed.Comment

I got this problem too. Did you figure out why exactly alignment is better for long sequences than miRBase?Comment

Please don't align directly to the mature.fa, only about 50% of miR reads are the exact mature sequence, you are missing a lot of sequence diversity that will map clearly to the harpin.fa. Calling 3p and 5p arm switching on the other hand, that's a different story.Originally posted by moses122 View PostComment

Thanks for replying. I did mapped to hairpin.fa. The alignment rate is only around 0.01% and it's 90% for genome. I used bowtie and allowed one mismatch.Originally posted by mziemann View PostComment

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
