Ultra-Deep Sequencing Reveals the microRNA Expression Pattern of the Human Stomach

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: While microRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in tissue differentiation and in maintaining basal physiology, little is known about the miRNA expression levels in stomach tissue. Alterations in the miRNA profile can lead to cell deregulation, which can induce neoplasia. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: A small RNA library of stomach tissue was sequenced using high-throughput SOLiD sequencing technology....
