Total RNA extraction from tissues for microRNA and target gene expression analysis: not all kits are created equal

Abstract Background microRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that fine-tune gene expression. The aberrant expression of miRNAs is associated with many diseases and they have both therapeutic and biomarker potential. However, our understanding of their usefulness is dependent on the tools we have...
