miRNA DE analysis from different tissues with different concentrations

Hi all,

I’m writing to ask your opinion. I’ve been ask to perform an miRNA DE analysis….so far so good. miRNA from tissue A vs miRNA from tissue B.

There is such a great difference between the concentration of miRNA in A vs B that I’m worried that if I do a straight DE analysis, my results will be biased. Some of the A samples have been sequenced up ~30M reads and barely have 100k miRNAs mapped where some of the Bs have ~5M reads and have 1M miRNAs mapped….

Do you know any way to factor this in? I was thinking of instead doing a miRNA DE analysis, I would do a smRNA analysis...then the proportions would be factored in because the A samples have a lot of smRNAs compared to B samples ...any thoughts?

Cheers!
