miRIDIAN microRNA Mimic Negative Control #1
Differentiate between specific and non-specific effects with a negative control mimic
miRIDIAN microRNA Mimic Negative Controls are ideal for optimizing conditions for relevant, well-controlled microRNA modulation experiments. Both positive and negative control molecules are provided for gain-of-function microRNA studies.
Highlights
- Based on cel-miR-67, mature sequence:
UCACAACCUCCUAGAAAGAGUAGA(MIMAT0000039)
- Cel-miR-67 confirmed to have minimal sequence identity with miRNAs in human, mouse, and rat
- Identical design and modifications as miRIDIAN microRNA Mimics
- No identifiable effects on tested miRNA function (see Figure 1, Supporting Data)
Applications
- Non-targeting mimics for use as controls in miRNA mimic experiments
- Distinguish between specific mimic activity and background effects
