Align and count - QIAseq miRNA Library Kit
The analysis workflow is based on the Biomedical Genomics Analysis QIAseq miRNA Quantification analysis workflow described at
It includes the steps below. Specific parameters are listed in Appendix C.
- Create UMI Reads for miRNA. Sequencing reads are merged to UMI reads based on the unique molecular indexes (UMIs).
- Quantify miRNA. miRNAs are counted and annotated using miRBase and custom databases. Expression levels are generated for the mature miRNAs.
The tools are described in more detail in the QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench and Biomedical Genomics Analysis plugin manuals:
