Hi all, I am naive in sRNA-seq data analysis. I mapped my sRNA-seq data to mature and precursor plant miRNAs from miRBase. Now I want to study the expression patterns of these miRNAs across different samples.
- For some miRNAs, only precursors have been identified. Can I use their mature sequences instead of precursor for differential expression analysis?
- only mature miRNAs are used for differential expression analysis? as for some miRNAs, both mature and precursor were detecetd.
- In my list, for example, the sequence of aof-miR167a and ata-miR167e-5p is the same. Could I include all miRNAs in the final file for differential analysis? or I should only use one of them?
