Comments.Text: This looks a good question, outside my area. It may be helpful to provide further details of your study and data set and clarify what the `known miRNAs` represent.

Title: Expression analysis of miRNAs with normal RNA-seq data without small RNA-seq data
ThreadText: # Expression analysis of miRNAs with normal RNA-seq data without small RNA-seq data
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2022-08-28)
  
  I am looking to perform expression analysis of miRNAs with normal RNA-seq data lacking small RNA-seq data?
  
  Which path should I choose for known miRNAs and unknown new miRNAs?
  
  **Data set:** rna-seq data that analyzes the expression differences of a plant under stress.
  
  **Objective** To assess known and new miRNAs.
  
  **Tags:** rna-seq, ngs, rna

  You are going to have to look up the library prep protocol used, and determine if it will capture miRNA. My guess is, in the course of most RNASeq preps, small products are removed as contamination, so you won't have any real miRNA left behind.
  
  I believe you need to use a special library prep designed for miRNA to study them.
