MicroRNA Expression and Gene Regulation

Wednesday, October 14, 2009     1:00pm - 2:00pm

This webinar was broadcast on October 14th.

Presenters

  • Luke Sherlin, Ph.D., Technical Support Manager, Phalanx Bio Inc.
  • Yvonne Beirne FitzGerald, Field Application Scientist, Molecular Devices.

Study of the genome in the past decade has revealed the importance of microRNAs (miRNAs) and other small RNAs in regulating various cellular functions. Our current understanding indicates miRNAs play a critical role in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. This webinar will provide a thorough background in the discovery and function of miRNAs and a survey of the emerging role of miRNA expression in disease.

Topics

  • Discovery of miRNA and other small RNAs
  • Molecular biology of miRNAs
  • Role of miRNAs in disease
  • Current methods for monitoring miRNA expression levels
  • Working with Phalanx Biotech miRNA OneArrayTM and Molecular Devices' Axon GenePix® Scanners

Replay coming soon.
