microRNA (miRNA) Sequencing

APPLICATIONS
  • Identification of miRNA biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of diseases.
  • Characterization of miRNA-based therapeutic targets.
  • Investigating the mechanisms drug respins or resistance.
  • Study of miRNA-mediated gene regulation in different biological systems.

OVERVIEW

microRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that play important roles in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. miRNA sequencing allows researchers to measure the abundance of miRNAs in a sample and to compare the miRNA expression levels between different samples.
