Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules that function as negative regulators of gene expression. They are essential components of virtually every biological process and deregulated miRNA expression has been reported in a multitude of human diseases including cancer. Owing to their small size (20-22 nucleotides), accurate quantification of miRNA expression is particularly challenging. In this chapter, we present different RT-qPCR technologies that enable whole genome miRNA expression quantification.
