The small RNA discoveries were made possible, in part, by LC Sciences' small RNA discovery service which makes use of an innovative µParaflo® platform technology and proprietary probe design. The new microRNA sequences were included as part of the latest update to the miRBase sequence database of experimentally verified miRNAs. The Sanger Institute released the latest version (12.0) of miRBase on September 1st. (http://microrna.sanger.ac.uk/sequences/) The number of verified miRNAs has been increased from 6396 to 8619 hairpin precursor miRNAs expressing 8273 mature miRNA products. With the addition of 2062 new mature miRNA sequences, this represents the largest update in miRBase history. (PRWeb Sep 19, 2008)
