Does anyone knows if it is OK to analyse small RNA data using Repeatmasker?

Well, you could, but you wouldn't want to. Am I correct in guessing that you're wondering how much of your small RNA is originating from repeat regions in the genome? -
yes you are correct! I actually would like to know how much TE or piRNA am I getting in my libraries, do you know a better option? that would be nice!Comment

If you're using a normal model organism for which the genome has already been repeatmasked, then just align to the genome and then count how many of your reads are in the repeat region(s) of interest (it's probably simplest to just count the first alignment in the case of multimappers). Depending on how you align things, you could do that with htseq-count (or presumably featurecounts from subread, though I've never used it) or even GenomicRanges and Rsamtools if you want to get more complicated in how you count things.Comment

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...05-06-2024, 07:48 AM -
The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
