Small RNA-Seq

Overview

This service analyzes the expression of small RNAs, such as miRNAs, using Small RNA-Seq data.

Workflow

Specifications

Platform Illumina NovaSeq
Data Amount 10 million read pairs per sample

Data Analysis

【Reference Genome Mapping and Known miRNA Expression Analysis】
Reads from Small RNA-Seq data are mapped to the reference genome to quantify the expression levels of known miRNAs. The standard analysis includes calculating Fold Changes between samples or groups.
【miRBase Homology Search and Predicted miRNA Expression Analysis】
Reads are clustered into identical sequences and compared against known miRNAs in miRBase. Expression levels of predicted miRNAs are estimated based on read counts, followed by inter-sample or inter-group comparisons to calculate Fold Changes.
【Statistical Testing】
Differential expression analysis for miRNAs is conducted using statistical tests. Replicates of n≥3 are recommended for robust analysis.

Sample Requirements

Sample Type Total Amount Concentration Volume
Total RNA ≥ 2 µg ≥ 50 ng/µL ≥ 30 µL
Small RNA ≥ 60 ng ≥ 2 ng/µL ≥ 30 µL
