Workshop – Degradome Sequencing / Plant RNA Extraction Methods
Presented at the Plant & Animal Genomes Conference XXI
Date: Monday, January 14, 2013
Time: 6:10 PM-8:20 PM
Room: Pacific Salon 1
This workshop will provide an overview of the degradome sequencing method for miRNA target identification, as well as practical information for performing degradome sequencing experiments. Additionally, we will discuss the importance of miRNA sample preparation from various plant species/tissue types for downstream applications including next-gen sequencing, microarray and others. Diverse case study and application examples will be provided.

If you want an inkling of how hot the microRNA field is, just look at miRBase.
In April, the University of Manchester’s miRNA database updated to version 15 with the addition of some 4,000 new sequences, including 300 or so new human miRNAs. The database now contains 14,197 records from some 130-plus organisms and viruses, up from 10,883 in September 2009′s version 14.
“It was unexpected that there would suddenly be such a sudden jump in known human miRNAs,” says Christoph Eicken, head of microarray technical services at LC Sciences, a microRNA service provider. “It was almost stable for one to one-and-a-half years, which is a long time in the microRNA field.” (read more… )
