Project description:MicroRNA expression profiling using microRNA microarrays was performed on the porcine developing brain. Two tissues, cortex and cerebellum, were sampled at each of three different developmental stages: gestation day 50 (F50), gestation day 100 (F100) and three months old (named adult), respectively. The aim was to find developmental stage-, as well as tissue-specific, microRNA candidates and validate them with qPCR.

RNA samples containing the small RNA fraction were subjected to microarray analysis. Three replicates per developmental stage/tissue.
