  • Coverage dept needed for Exosomes

    Hi all,

    In my lab, we want to characterize (only characterize, not differential expression) RNA elements inside of exosomes, by using sequencing. My bosses want to make a pool of several samples.

    I think is different than conventional RNA-seq because we aren't going to use all the transcriptome, only the exosomes.

    Do you have any idea of the minimum depth needed for this kind of analysis?

    Thanks in advance!

    Other question. My bosses said to me that in literature has been reported that the exosomes can contain some mRNA molecules. To exosome profiling is more suitable using total RNA-seq (smallRNA + mRNA) or only smallRNA-seq?

    thanks in advance!

      Not directly able to answer you question (in this case how do you define significant "depth"? A single read, could (in theory), represent a real rare RNA).

      There are many "exosome" labeled datasets in SRA: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/?term=exosome You may want to look through those and associated publications (if any).

          About the second question, what do you think is the best approximation to perform the analysis? smallRNA-seq or total RNA-seq?

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
