Stump project-- miRNA whole tissue; Volar versus non-volar acral skin gene expression. Homo sapiens

To broaden our understanding of the gene expression common to volar skin, we biopsied the dorsum of the hand, palm, dorsum of the foot and sole and collected miRNA for chip anlayses Overall design: total of 16 skin biopsy samples with 4 repeats from distinct individuals of each site: dorsum of hand, palm, dorstum of foot and sole
