Small Rna Downstream Analysis Pipeline

Hi,

I have 25bp SOLiD Frag data.

Goal is to find novel small rna.

So far I have used SHRiMP2 to align the data with default parameters.

Generally what tools/method/steps are used for further downstream analysis(for e.g. remove duplicates, to remove know RNA etc.)

Thanks a lot.

small solid sequence

Thanks Michael, James and Shameer for your suggestions. I wish - somebody had good blog post on pipeline. Thanks for your answers and support.

You could look at DSAP for inspiration. This paper references three other microRNA pipelines which may be of interest too.

You could take a look at Infernal and Rfam. They will be a good start to remove known RNA from your results. You can use Infernal program to identify RNA homologs and identify the novel small RNA.
