Dumbbell-PCR for Discriminative Quantification of a Small RNA Variant.

Abstract excerpt

Cellular RNAs are often expressed as multiple isoforms of complex heterogeneity in both length and terminal sequences. IsomiRs, the isoforms of microRNAs, are such an example. Distinct quantification of each RNA variant is necessary to unravel the biogenesis mechanism and biological significance of heterogenetic RNA expression. Here we describe Dumbbell-PCR (Db-PCR), a TaqMan RT-PCR-based method that...
