Small non-coding RNA profiling in human biofluids from healthy individuals
The role of non-coding RNAs in different biological processes and diseases is continuously expanding. Next-generation sequencing together with the parallel improvement of bioinformatics analyses allows the accurate detection and quantification of an increasing number of RNA species. With the aim of exploring new potential biomarkers for disease classification, a clear overview of the expression levels of common/unique small RNA species among different biospecimens is necessary. However, except for miRNAs in plasma, there are no substantial indications about the pattern of expression of various small RNAs in multiple specimens among healthy humans. Overall, the data reported hereby provide an insight of the constitution of the human miRNome and other small non-coding RNAs in various specimens of healthy individuals. This dataset was submitted by the Extracellular RNA Atlas (http://exrna-atlas.org/exat/datasets/EXR-ANACC1S6lJ1C-AN), and the selected raw and processed data for this dataset corresponds to what is available in that resource. Submitter indicates: "The publication associated with the citation below refers to a slightly larger set of samples (includes cervical scrape samples) and contains an alternative analysis to the processed data files provided here." Overall design: Small RNA-Seq data of RNA extracted from exosomes from 123 plasma samples of healthy donors derived from three different studies. Additionally, sequencing was performed on RNA from 39 faecal samples and 47 urine samples.
