Comparison of microarray platforms for measuring differential microRNA expression in paired normal/cancer colon tissues.

<h4>Background</h4>Microarray technology applied to microRNA (miRNA) profiling is a promising tool in many research fields; nevertheless, independent studies characterizing the same pathology have often reported poorly overlapping results. miRNA analysis methods have only recently been s...
