Abstract
Description
【Technical field】
[0001] The invention relates to the improvement of the miRNA in situ detection method. In particular, it is a fluorescent in situ hybridization detection method for in situ combined detection of miRNA expression and cell apoptosis. 【Background technique】
[0002] In recent years, studies have found that a new class of microRNA (microRNA or miRNA) refers to some special small non-coding RNAs with a length of about 21-25nt. By combining with its 3'untranslated region, it can negatively regulate gene expression by promoting the degradation of target mRNA and / or inhibiting the translation process at the post-transcriptional level. It is speculated that nearly 30% of human gene expression is precisely regulated by miRNAs. There are more than 300 miRNAs that have been identified so far. According to the speculation of the miRNA database Sanger, the total number may exceed 1000, accounting for 3% of the human genome. Because miRNAs exist widely in organisms and...
