From: miRTrace reveals the organismal origins of microRNA sequencing data
miRTrace: tracing miRNA sequencing data to their taxonomic origins. a Flowchart of how miRTrace assigns miRNA sequencing data to their taxonomical origins. One or more Fastq files and the synthetic adapter sequence are input. The data are pre-processed and clade-specific miRNAs are identified by perfect matching to a curated sequence database. The clade-specific miRNA profile is output in graphic format. b Possible miRTrace applications
