Abstract

Improved methods to quantitate RNA in biological or other analytical samples employ extended RNAs containing adaptors at the 5′ end and polyA sequences coupled to a tag at the 3′ end. The invention method is particularly useful in quantitating microRNAs as primers can be used that need not complement the non-conserved 3′ ends of these molecules.
