microRNA (miRNA) are promising candidates for disease biomarkers as they are abundant in circulation, highly stable in biological fluids and may yield diagnostic biomarker signatures. The reported issues with miRNA isolation using traditional RNA reagents necessitates the optimisation of miRNA isolation from challenging samples. In this study we compared six commercial RNA extraction kits to evaluate their ability to isolate miRNA from ovine plasma. We also compared three methods for quantificat ...[more]
