Outline of Final Research Achievements

Long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs) have widespread roles in regulating gene expression. Very few lncRNAs that regulate disease progression, are identified to associate with Hmgb2. Quantitative RT-PCR using original probe can successfully detect lncRNAs and can be expected to improve laboratory medicine.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

国産プローブを用いた定量PCR法は、既存の米国のTaqManプローブと同等の感度と特異度を得ることができた。これは我が国の遺伝子関連検査の向上に寄与すると期待される。
