  • DETECTION OF TISSUE ORIGIN OF CANCER
    Publication number: 20100286044
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining the cellular or tissue origin of tumor cells. The method entails determining the presence of at least one micro RNA (miRNA) in a sample derived from tumor tissue and based on the said determination establishing a miRNA expression profile and comparing this with pre-established miRNA expression profiles from cells, tissues or tumors. The determination uses short oligonucleotide probes comprising modified affinity-enhancing nucleobases.

  • Novel oligonucleotide compositions and probe sequences useful for detection and analysis of non coding RNAs associated with cancer
    Publication number: 20080076674
    Abstract: The invention relates relates to ribonucleic acids and oligonucleotide probes useful for detection and analysis of non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs and small nuclear RNA (snRNA), in particular small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), and their precursors which are associated with cancer, and which can be used for characterising breast cancers or suspected cancer.
