| Abstract |
MicroRNA analysis has been widely adopted for basic and applied science. The tools and technologies available for quantifying and analysing miRNAs are still maturing. Here, we give an introductory overview of the main tools and the challenges in their use. We also discuss the importance of basic experimental design, sample handling and analysis methods as the impact of these can be as profound as the choice of miRNA analysis platform. Whether the reader is interested in a gene-by-gene or genome-wide approach choosing the platform to use is not trivial. Careful thought given before starting an experiment will make the execution much easier. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. 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 11 October 2016.
All research outputs
#3,864,251
of 22,710,079 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#964
of 13,078 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#31,495
of 240,955 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#55
of 464 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,710,079 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,078 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its peers.
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 240,955 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 464 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
