miRNA sequencing, based on next-generation sequencing (NGS), can comprehensively profile miRNA sequences, either known or novel miRNAs. Our miRNA sequencing detects novel miRNAs as well as isomiR, enabling you to see precisely which miRNA sequences are expressed in your samples and uncover the importance of these small regulatory elements linked to a wide range of biological functions.
The miRNAs, 19 to 25 nucleotides long, are a class of small non-coding RNAs, processed from hairpin precursors. miRNA play a key role for the translation efficiency and the stability of their target mRNAs. The miRNAs can control the expression of up to several hundreds of genes by guiding the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to complementary sites in the 3′UTRs of the target mRNAs. This regulationary mechanism underlying gene expression is involved in almost all processes of cell biology and development, such as cell differentiation and apoptosis, the clearance of maternally deposited transcripts, morphogenesis, and organogenesis.
miRNA sequencing is a technique that examines and quantity and sequences of miRNA molecules in a given sample using NGS and size selection. miRNA sequencing experiments contribute to our understanding of cell biology essential developmental processes by detect both known and novel miRNAs, and how RNA molecules affect gene regulation, thus influencing disease development and phenotypic variation and accelerating the discovery of diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers, as well as the development of miRNA-targeting drugs.
