Specific detection of miR-122a (top), miR-206 (middle) and miR-124a (bottom) using miRCURY™ detection probes in in situ hybridisation of whole mount zebrafish embryos.

"I have tried three different techniques for detecting miRNAs by in situ hybridization in human brain tissue - they all failed. When I used the miRCURY probes from Exiqon employing a very simple technique, the protocol instantly and 'painlessly' succeeded. I am very pleased with the results"
says Dr. Peter Nelson from the Mourelatos Lab, UPenn, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
