Method for isolation

A large part of gene regulation in eukaryotes takes place at the level of RNA-molecules. A group of endogenous regulatory RNA-molecules, the so-called microRNAs (miRNAs) appear to be involved in the regulation of about 30% of all human genes. These “small RNA” molecules (sRNA) also play a role in the development of diseases such as cancer, diabetes or neurological disorders. Disease-associated changes of miRNA expression patterns provide new prognostic and diagnostic opportunities and are qualified for the development of respective clinical markers.
