About the Practical Course
MicroRNAs (miRNA) are short, noncoding regulatory RNAs involved in development, differentiation, and metabolism of most eukaryotic organisms. Investigating miRNA expression in these cellular processes is important for our understanding of fundamental biological processes and many different diseases. The course is designed to introduce researchers to the theoretical and practical aspects of the methods used for discovery and profiling of miRNA expression such as in-situ hybridization, microarray and qPCR analyses, fluorescent sorting and new-generation sequencing.

MicroRNAs (miRNA) are short, noncoding regulatory RNAs involved in development, differentiation, and metabolism of most eukaryotic organisms. Investigating miRNA expression in these cellular processes is important for our understanding of fundamental biological processes and many different diseases.
The course is designed to introduce researchers to the theoretical and practical aspects of the methods used for discovery and profiling of miRNA expression such as in-situ hybridization, microarray and qPCR analyses, fluorescent sorting and new-generation sequencing.
The course will be focused on the theoretical and practical aspects of methods used for discovery and profiling of miRNA expression such as in-situ hybridization, microarray and qPCR analyses, fluorescent sorting and new-generation sequencing.
The practical part will also include data analysis, miRNA target prediction, correlation of mRNA and miRNA expression profiles as well as correlation of data obtained by various methods. |
