The characterization of post-transcriptional gene regulation by small regulatory RNAs of 20–
30 nt length, particularly miRNAs and piRNAs, has become a major focus of research in
recent years. A prerequisite for the characterization of small RNAs is their identification and
quantification across different developmental stages, normal and diseased tissues, as well
as model cell lines. Here we present a step-by-step protocol for the bioinformatic analysis of

A prerequisite for the characterization of small RNAs is their identification and quantification across different developmental stages, normal and diseased tissues, as well as model cell lines. Here we present a step-by-step protocol for the bioinformatic analysis of barcoded cDNA libraries for small RNA profiling generated by Illumina sequencing, thereby facilitating miRNA and other small RNA profiling of large sample collections.
