hi all,
i'm trying to validate a new method for the identification of sRNA in bacteria based on the analysis of RNA-seq output that seems to work on my lab data.
validation dataset was downloaded from ncbi
(RNA-seq on e.coli K-12 substr. W3110)
we constructed two strand specific coverage map at a single base resolution, based on alignment output procuced with SOAP.
focusing on both mRNA and ncRNA regions previously annotated, we observed a great amount of reads mapping from both coding and non-coding strand. it seems a a sort of symmetry of coverage signal.
probably I'm wrong, maybe I choose a rna-seq experiment not strand-specific? but i'm not a biologist and i'm a newbie..
someone else observe data with this behavior?
any help is greatly appreciated!
thanks
