QIAseq miRNA Library Kit (Thermo Fisher)

The QIAseq miRNA Library Kit (Thermo Fisher) 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 (Thermo Fisher), see About analysis workflow versions and sample comparability.
