MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are very short (18–24 nucleotides) nucleic acids that are expressed in a number of biological tissues and have been shown to be more resistant to extreme temperatures and pH compare
The aim of the study was to determine the influence of tissue degeneration due to prolonged storage of tissues on RNA integrity and the miRNA expression profile using microarrays. There is some disput
Background: As degradation of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples limits ability to expression profile, we explored factors predicting success for FFPE profiling and investigated an approa
