1 | 6 | # Welcome to the Hunt Lab Small RNA Pipeline Documentation |
2 | 7 |
|
3 | | -This tool is designed to automate a lot of the common bioinformatics performed on small RNA by the [Hunt Lab](https://www.vickyhuntlab.org/). It is deliberately designed to be highly configurable so it can be easily applied to a wide range of scenarios, though most of our work is on nematode and nematomorph worms. |
| 8 | +This documentation is for version 2 of the pipeline, select 1.1.0 from the version dropdown for the version 1 documentation. |

| 10 | +This is a pipeline developed in [Vicky Hunt's Lab](https://www.vickyhuntlab.org/) at the [University of Bath](https://www.bath.ac.uk), UK to analyse small RNA data in a quick and consistent way between projects. It is deliberately designed to be highly configurable so it can be easily applied to a wide range of scenarios, though most of our work is on nematode and nematomorph worms. |

| 12 | +# Background |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +Most of the original methodology was devised by Mona Suleiman, Dominika Lastik and Vicky Hunt for the papers below. This was then developed into a usable pipeline by Kieran Reynolds in 2022 and updated to version 2 in 2025. |

Small non-coding RNAs have predicted roles in reproductive biology and transposable element regulation in the parasitic worm Strongyloides venezuelensis. Sci Rep 15, 20608 (2025).

| 22 | +This pipeline is mainly a combination of existing tools so, doesn't have a paper attached to it but can be referenced with the repository URL and version number. For example: |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +> This analysis was performed using HuntLab-smallRNA v2.0.0 ([https://github.com/Vicky-Hunt-Lab/HuntLab-smallRNA](https://github.com/Vicky-Hunt-Lab/HuntLab-smallRNA)). |
