In Cohort 1, small RNAs were extracted from prostate tissue FFPE sections using a modified protocol of the mirVana miRNA Isolation kit (Ambion®, Austin, TX) as described previously (18 (link)). Quantification of miRNAs was performed on 5 ng small RNAs using TaqMan MicroRNA assays (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) on a 7900 HT Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems), as described by Larne et al.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
