The document describes miScript miRNA PCR Arrays for analyzing miRNA expression patterns. It discusses miRNA biogenesis and function, and how the miScript system allows for genome-wide and pathway-focused miRNA analysis using a qPCR-based approach. The miScript arrays offer high reproducibility, sensitivity, and the ability to discover cancer-related and developmentally regulated miRNAs. They can be used to screen focused miRNA panels or conduct genome-wide screens to discover novel miRNA roles.
