A comparison of miRNA isolation and RT-qPCR technologies and their effects on quantification accuracy and repeatability

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short (∼22 nucleotides), non-coding RNA molecules that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. As the miRNA field is still in its relative infancy, there is currently a lack of consensus regarding optimal methodologies for miRNA quantification, data analysis and data...
