2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 13 stars13 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Small RNA-seq Pipeline
Pipeline Overview
FASTQ → cutadapt trim → miRDeep2 → Quantification → DESeq2 → Target prediction
Step 1: Preprocessing
# Adapter trimming and size selection
cutadapt -a TGGAATTCTCGGGTGCCAAGG \
--minimum-length 18 --maximum-length 30 \
-o trimmed.fastq.gz reads.fastq.gz
Step 2: miRDeep2 Analysis
# Align to genome
mapper.pl trimmed.fastq.gz -e -h -i -j -l 18 \
-m -p genome_index -s reads_collapsed.fa \
-t reads_collapsed_vs_genome.arf
# miRNA quantification and novel prediction
miRDeep2.pl reads_collapsed.fa genome.fa \
reads_collapsed_vs_genome.arf \
mature_ref.fa none hairpin_ref.fa
Step 3: Differential Expression
library(DESeq2)
counts <- read.csv('mirna_counts.csv', row.names = 1)
dds <- DESeqDataSetFromMatrix(counts, colData, ~condition)
dds <- DESeq(dds)
results <- results(dds)
Step 4: Target Prediction
# miRanda for target prediction
miranda mature_mirnas.fa target_3utrs.fa -out targets.txt
QC Checkpoints
- After trimming: Size distribution should peak at 21-23nt
- After alignment: >70% mapping rate expected
- After DE: Check volcano plot and PCA
