Article Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) present diverse regulatory functions in a wide range of biological activities. Studies on miRNA functions generally depend on determining miRNA expression profiles between libraries by using a next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform. Currently, several online web services are developed to provide small RNA NGS data analysis. However, the submission of large amounts of NGS data, conversion of data format, and limited availability of species bring problems. In this study, we developed miRSeq to provide alternatives. To test the performance, we had small RNA NGS data from four species, including human, rat, fly, and nematode, analyzed with miRSeq. The alignments results indicate that miRSeq can precisely evaluate the sequencing quality of samples regarding percentage of self-ligation read, read length distribution, and read category. miRSeq is a user-friendly standalone toolkit featuring a graphical user interface (GUI). After a simple installation, users can easily operate miRSeq on a PC or laptop by using a mouse. Within minutes, miRSeq yields useful miRNA data, including miRNA expression profiles, 3' end modification patterns, and isomiR forms. Moreover, miRSeq supports the analysis of up to 105 animal species, providing higher flexibility.

Severe pneumonia, as a critical and prevalent condition of the respiratory system, poses a significant threat to patient survival and health outcomes. This article focuses on the similarities and differences between community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP)/ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). There is significant divergence in the predominant pathogens between severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP) and HAP/VAP.

Sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene is an important tool in addition to conventional methods for the identification of bacterial pathogens in human infections. In polymicrobial samples, Sanger sequencing can produce uninterpretable chromatograms. This limitation can be overcome by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) of the 16S rRNA gene.

Background: Clonotyping of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) gene rearrangements is critical for diagnosis, prognostication, and measurable residual disease monitoring in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Although short-read next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms, such as Illumina MiSeq, are widely used, they face challenges in spanning full VDJ rearrangements. Long-read sequencing via Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) offers a potential alternative using the compact and cost-effective flow cells.

To explore the clinicopathological and molecular genetic characteristics of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged renal cell carcinoma (RCC), including a rare case with the TPM1-ALK gene subtype. Three cases of ALK-rearranged RCC diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China from January 2020 to December 2024 were collected. Their clinical pathological and next-generation sequencing (NGS) data were analyzed.
