MicroRNA methodology: advances in miRNA technologies

Methods Mol Biol. 2014:1169:121-30. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-0882-0_12.

Abstract

There is an emerging trend in microRNA research and thus substantial progress in microRNA technologies. In this chapter we provide insights into the main microRNA specific methodologies and critical steps of microRNA expression profiling, target gene identification, and functional confirmation of microRNA effects up to in vivo application of antagomirs.
