Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We recommend using either the TaqPath ProAmp Master Mix or the TaqMan Genotyping Master Mix. The TaqMan Genotyping Master Mix has the advantage of proven performance with up to 3 days of pre- and post-PCR stability, allowing you to set up plates ahead of time or read the plates later (see the data here, https://tools.thermofisher.com/content/sfs/brochures/cms_039236.pdf) while the TaqPath ProAmp Master Mix can handle samples that may have inhibitors present.
miRBase continues to re-annotate the miRNA sequences as more information becomes available. A sequence that once mapped to a given species (e.g.: human) may no longer exist, so it is removed from miRBase. Accordingly, the original assay for that sequence no longer maps to an annotated miRNA, and as a result the annotation fields on the search results page on the Thermo Fisher Scientific portal are empty. An example of this is Assay hsa-miR-505 (Assay ID 001049). miRBase continues to re-annotate the miRNA sequences as more information becomes available.

A TaqMan MicroRNA Assay has two components: an RT reaction containing a miRNA specific stem-loop reverse-transcription primer and a separate specific TaqMan miRNA Assay. The RT stem-loop primer provides the specificity for the mature miRNA target; it does not detect its precursor. The formation of a RT primer/mature miRNA-chimera extends the length of the 5’ end of the miRNA. The longer RT product provides a miRNA specific cDNA template amenable to the TaqMan assay design.
There are 2 steps involved in using the TaqMan MicroRNA Assays:
1. RT step: total RNA to cDNA using miRNA-specific RT primers from the TaqMan MicroRNA Assays and the TaqMan MicroRNA Reverse Transcription Kit (P/N 4366596, 200 reactions or 4366597, 1000 reactions)
2. PCR step: cDNA to PCR products using primers and probe from the TaqMan MicroRNA Assays together with TaqMan Universal PCR Master Mix No AmpErase UNG (P/N 4324018).
MicroRNAs are believed to play an important role in post transcriptional gene regulation. A total of ~850 unique miRNAs have been discovered so far, including ~333 human miRNAs. They are relatively abundant, ranging from a few to as many as 50,000 molecules per cell. They account for approximately 1% of the predicted genes in animals and plants. The level of individual miRNAs varies dramatically across cell type and developmental stages. These differences in miRNA level are believed to be a key indicator of miRNA activity.
Recent research has implicated miRNAs in the following: cell development, differentiation, communication and cell death; DNA methylation and chromatin modification; metabolism; human cancer development; haematopoiesis; nervous system patterning; insulin secretion.
