Custom Adenylated Linkers Simplify miRNA Analysis

Austin, TX, September 05, 2009 --(PR.com)-- microRNAs (miRNAs) are small, single-stranded RNAs that regulate gene expression by partial complementary base pairing to specific mRNAs. Within the last few years, research has begun to elucidate the role that miRNAs play in the cancer and other diseases. miRNA analysis is also used to identify biomarkers and disease signatures.

Bioo Scientific announced the immediate availability of AIR™ Adenylated Linkers, 5’adenylated linker oligos that facilitate miRNA cloning and sequencing. According to Dr Masoud Toloue, Senior Scientist at Bioo Scientific, “These linkers are modified to prevent self-ligation and can improve miRNA cloning efficiency, precluding the need for ATP. They can be adapted to any custom sequence the user wishes, making miRNA library construction easier than ever.”

Custom AIR Adenylated Linkers can be designed to meet any of your needs. Alternatively, pre-designed AIR Adenylated Linkers are available with Ban-1, Ava-1, Sty-1 or EcoR-1 restriction sites. Both the custom and pre-designed AIR Adenylated Linkers are cost effective tools designed to improve your miRNA cloning strategies.
