Workflow for miRNA & siRNA Identification from NGS Data at BioNome in India
Small RNA sequencing has become a powerful tool for understanding gene regulation, disease mechanisms, and RNA-based therapeutics. Accurate identification of miRNA and siRNA from NGS data requires a robust and scientifically validated bioinformatics workflow. At BioNome, we provide end-to-end small RNA sequencing analysis services tailored to researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and biotech startups across India.Recognized as the Best Bioinformatics Service Provider in Bangalore (Karnataka), BioNome delivers affordable bioinformatics services with high analytical accuracy and comprehensive reporting.Step 1: Data Quality Control & PreprocessingThe workflow begins with rigorous quality assessment of raw FASTQ files. This includes:Quality score evaluationAdapter trimming (critical for small RNA data)Removal of low-quality readsFiltering of contaminants and artifactsAccurate preprocessing ensures reliable downstream analysis.Step 2: Alignment to Reference GenomeCleaned reads are mapped to the appropriate reference genome using optimized alignment tools. This step enables:Identification of known miRNAs using reference databasesDetection of siRNA sequencesFiltering of non-specific matchesPrecise alignment minimizes false positives and improves confidence in results.Step 3: Novel miRNA & siRNA DiscoveryBeyond known sequences, BioNome performs computational prediction of novel small RNAs by:Identifying characteristic hairpin structuresAnalyzing read distribution patternsEvaluating thermodynamic stabilityConfirming structural features of precursor miRNAsThis step expands the discovery potential for new regulatory RNAs.Step 4: Differential Expression AnalysisWe conduct statistical analysis to identify significantly upregulated or downregulated miRNAs/siRNAs between experimental groups. This supports:Biomarker discoveryDisease association studiesFunctional genomics researchRNA-based therapeutic developmentStep 5: Target Prediction & Functional AnnotationIdentified miRNAs and siRNAs are further analyzed for:Target gene predictionGene Ontology (GO) enrichmentPathway analysis (KEGG and related databases)Regulatory network constructionThis provides biological context and actionable insights.Why Choose BioNome?BioNome combines advanced computational tools, experienced bioinformaticians, and scalable infrastructure to deliver accurate NGS analysis.
