Hi all,
I am having transcriptome data of c.elegans i would like to analyse the differential expression of siRNA between wild and mutant type. Is it possible to identify the siRNA using this data?
I have followed the below protocol, Is it correct?
After preprocessing the fastq file i have performed the alignment using HISAT2 with c.elegans mRNA and ncRNA (ncRNA-does not include the siRNA)
I have filtered the unmapped reads and i converted the bam file to fastq file. (because siRNA sequences have not been annotated)
I have filtered the fastq file using following criteria, ( I am looking into G-siRNA with 22 nucleotide length) Reads should start with G Read length 22
I have used salmon/sailfish for quantification using annotated GTF
DESEQ2 for differential analysis
Using this procedure we obtained 25 genes are differentially expressed. but i am not sure about whether these reads belongs to siRNA or it is a piece of coding region.
Please help me to identify the siRNA from transcriptome data.
Looking forward for the reply.
