miRNA profiling

miRNA profiling is a technique used to study small RNA molecules called microRNAs (miRNAs), which play a crucial role in regulating gene expression. By analyzing the levels and types of miRNAs present in a sample, researchers can gain insights into cellular functions, disease mechanisms, and potential therapeutic targets. This profiling helps scientists understand how miRNAs contribute to processes like development and response to stress, and it can assist in diagnosing diseases, particularly cancer, by highlighting specific miRNA patterns associated with different conditions.
