Small RNA Sequencing

Target and isolate fewer than 200 nucleotides of small, non-coding RNA known to regulate transcription.

What Is Small RNA Sequencing?

The effective process of analyzing only small non-coding RNA fragments in a highly parallel sequencing method

Why Is Small RNA Sequencing Important?

The major component of small non-coding RNAs are microRNA (miRNA). miRNA has important roles in cellular development including cell proliferation, cell death and apoptosis, cell fate, and developmental timing.

We Enrich Total RNA Samples for:

microRNA (miRNA)

Small interfering RNA (siRNA)

Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA)

Small nuclear RNA (snRNA)

Small activating RNA (saRNA)

Small rDNA-derived RNA (srRNA)

tRNA-derived small RNA (tsRNA)

Transfer RNA-Derived Fragments (tRFs) are even smaller fragments derived from mature tRNAs or pre-tRNAs, usually 14-32 nt in length.

Total RNA Sequencing Best Practices

Sample Preparation & RNA Extraction

RNA extraction from cells, tissue, FFPE, blood, and swab samples. We isolate high-quality total RNA with our extraction experts.

Have a low amount of samples? Take a look at our low-input RNA seq to find the right option for you.

Library Preparation

NEXTFLEX Small RNA-Seq Kit v3

  • 1ug Total RNA
  • Library QC: >2 nM at 100~300 bp

The recommended small RNA sequencing coverage targets ~10-20 million reads in depth. Psomagen typically guarantees raw sequencing depth.

Sequencing Instrumentation & Read Length

Illumina NovaSeq S1 or S2 (entire flow cell)

  • 35 bp read length

Bioinformatic Analysis

Basic analysis:

  • Mapping
  • Known/novel small RNA
  • Mature miRNA abundance
  • Small RNA composition

Data Delivery

All sequencing run data is delivered as demultiplexed .fastq files

If entire flowcell or lane is purchased, the raw data can be delivered as BCL files if requested at time of contract
