Abstract

During the last 30 years exceedingly sensitive and accurate technologies have been developed to measure and quantify amounts of nucleic acids and proteins. With techniques such as quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and nextgeneration sequencing (NGS) DNA, messenger RNAs (mRNA), micro RNAs (miRNA), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) and today even proteins can be measured in most types of samples allowing the comparison of environmental conditions, studies of diseases and monitoring of treatments.
