Several techniques are employed to detect and quantify RNA markers in cancer. These include:
- Quantitative PCR (qPCR): This method amplifies and quantifies target RNA sequences, providing precise measurements of RNA expression levels. - RNA Sequencing (RNA-seq): This high-throughput technique allows for comprehensive analysis of the entire transcriptome, identifying both known and novel RNA markers. - Microarray Analysis: This technique enables the simultaneous examination of thousands of RNA sequences, helping to identify expression patterns associated with cancer.
