Characterizing Cell-Free Circulating RNA - A Dream or a Reality?

Kai Wang, Principle Scientist, Institute for Systems Biology

Circulating RNA, especially RNA encapsulated in lipid vesicles, has gained significant interest due to their biological function and possible clinical applications. Despite the potential utilities, it is still a challenge to accurately profile the circulating RNA.  Some of the challenges and technology improvements on characterizing cell-free circulating RNA will be addressed.
