Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, highly conserved noncoding RNA molecules involved in the regulation of gene expression. Since each miRNA regulates the expression of hundreds of target mRNAs, miRNAs could function as master coordinators, efficiently regulating fundamental cellular processes, including proliferation, apoptosis, and development. Furthermore, miRNAs may provide useful diagnostic and therapeutic targets in a variety of diseases. However, miRNA expression profiling is essential for the investigation of the biological functions and clinical applications of miRNAs. Therefore, in this chapter, we review and discuss commonly used techniques for miRNAs profiling, as well as their advantages and restrictions.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 February 2016.
All research outputs
#17,778,896
of 22,835,198 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#7,239
of 13,126 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#267,677
of 393,568 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#752
of 1,470 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,835,198 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,126 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 393,568 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,470 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
