One of the most exciting potential applications of circulating non-coding RNAs like microRNA (miRNA) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is as biomarkers for early detection of cancer. Easily accessible markers like RNAs in the blood are an attractive possibility for finding cancers as soon as possible. Our scientists have compiled an application note showing how to use qPCR in translational research to identify potential lncRNA biomarkers in lung cancer. Check it out here!
