Micro RNA’s (miRNA’s) may help explain expression of multiple genes in Alzheimer’s Frontal Cortex

September 2017 Authors: James Bennett and Paula Keeney Info: Scientists from Neurodegeneration Therapeutics used RNA-seq to compare microRNAs found in Alzheimer’s brain samples and controls. They identified 55 up-regulated genes and 191 down-regulated genes in the Alzheimer’s samples. PippinHT was … more »
