RT Journal Article T1 sRNAbench and sRNAtoolbox 2022 update: accurate miRNA and sncRNA profiling for model and non-model organisms. A1 Aparicio-Puerta, Ernesto A1 Gomez-Martin, Cristina A1 Giannoukakos, Stavros A1 Medina, Jose Maria A1 Scheepbouwer, Chantal A1 Garcia-Moreno, Adrian A1 Carmona-Saez, Pedro A1 Fromm, Bastian A1 Pegtel, Michiel A1 Keller, Andreas A1 Marchal, Juan Antonio A1 Hackenberg, Michael K1 Search Engine K1 Plants K1 Additional Terms AB The NCBI Sequence Read Archive currently hosts microRNA sequencing data for over 800 different species, evidencing the existence of a broad taxonomic distribution in the field of small RNA research. Simultaneously, the number of samples per miRNA-seq study continues to increase resulting in a vast amount of data that requires accurate, fast and user-friendly analysis methods. Since the previous release of sRNAtoolbox in 2019, 55 000 sRNAbench jobs have been submitted which has motivated many improvements in its usability and the scope of the underlying annotation database. With this update, users can upload an unlimited number of samples or import them from Google Drive, Dropbox or URLs. Micro- and small RNA profiling can now be carried out using high-confidence Metazoan and plant specific databases, MirGeneDB and PmiREN respectively, together with genome assemblies and libraries from 441 Ensembl species. The new results page includes straightforward sample annotation to allow downstream differential expression analysis with sRNAde. Unassigned reads can also be explored by means of a new tool that performs mapping to microbial references, which can reveal contamination events or biologically meaningful findings as we describe in the example. sRNAtoolbox is available at: https://arn.ugr.es/srnatoolbox/.
