QIAseq miRNA Library Kit

The QIAseq miRNA Library Kit analysis workflow is based on miRBase, why only species present in miRBase are supported.

Ingenuity Pathway Analysis for miRNA data is restricted to human, mouse and rat. For this reason, biological insights results will be generated for these species only.

For an overview of what species are supported for the QIAseq miRNA Library Kit, see About analysis workflow versions and sample comparability.
