  • [Small RNA sequencing] 10-12 M raw reads enough?

    Hi, all,

    I am a novice in solid deep sequencing. Months before I made several small RNA libraries using the SOLID total RNA seq Kit. The final concentrations of these libraries were relatively low (about 10 ng/ul), but they all reached the requirement for deep sequencing, and their ratio of 120-130bp/25-150bp, obtained by Agilent bioanalyzer, was above 50%. So we sent them to the sequencing company. The company helped us with the ePCR and sequencing. This week I got the sequencing results. Most libraries got about 10-12 M raw reads, which is lower than the supposed 16 M. Is 10-12 M reads enough for my following bioinformatic analysis? Will the results be accurate to reflect the transcript level of small RNAs in the plant ?

    By the way, I used SOLID barcode primer in the library construction process

    I hope someone here has related experience on small RNA deep sequencing, and is willing to share your knowledge with me? Thank a lot.

    If anything confusing, let me know.

    I think you've posted in the wrong forum. There is a SOLiD forum here.

      Really? which one do I suppose to post?

      I do use SOLID system for my sequencing.

            Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
            by seqadmin




            Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.

            Recent Developments in Metagenomics
            by seqadmin





            Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...
