Hy, we made a 454 run of a miRNA library of a non sequenced plant. What pipeline you would suggest to predict novel miRNA considering that we have not any reference ?
Thank you very much
Thank you very much

You can use the genome of a very related plant.
Otherwise I don't know how to do such prediction without a reference genome.. -
There are some tools which predict the precursor mirna structure from the sequence. If im not mistaken they used HMM to do that, but I cannot remember the name of the tool.Comment

Thank you very much. I am in diffuculty about this, i'll try different ways.Comment

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 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...07-08-2026, 05:17 AM -
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.07-01-2026, 11:43 AM
