Journal ArticleDOI

Real-time quantification of microRNAs by stem–loop RT–PCR

TL;DR: A novel microRNA quantification method has been developed using stem–loop RT followed by TaqMan PCR analysis, which enables fast, accurate and sensitive miRNA expression profiling and can identify and monitor potential biomarkers specific to tissues or diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

mRNA-Seq whole-transcriptome analysis of a single cell.

TL;DR: A single-cell digital gene expression profiling assay with only a single mouse blastomere is described, which detected the expression of 75% more genes than microarray techniques and identified 1,753 previously unknown splice junctions called by at least 5 reads.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single-cell RNA-Seq profiling of human preimplantation embryos and embryonic stem cells

TL;DR: It is found that EPI cells and primary hESC outgrowth have dramatically different transcriptomes, with 1,498 genes showing differential expression between them, and this work provides a comprehensive framework of the transcriptome landscapes of human early embryos and hESCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Downregulation of miRNA-200c Links Breast Cancer Stem Cells with Normal Stem Cells

TL;DR: The coordinated downregulation of three microRNA clusters and the similar functional regulation of clonal expansion by miR-200c provide a molecular link that connects BCSCs with normal stem cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Probing Gene Expression in Live Cells, One Protein Molecule at a Time

TL;DR: It is found that the protein molecules are produced in bursts, with each burst originating from a stochastically transcribed single messenger RNA molecule, and that protein copy numbers in the bursts follow a geometric distribution.
