Extracellular small RNAs have recently come to attention as both biomarkers for disease states and functional regulators of cell-cell communication. While high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technology offers a potentially sensitive means to characterize and quantify these exRNAs, there is a lack of a systematic evaluation of the efficacy and reliability of HTS sequencing protocols to survey the extracellular RNA space. In this presentation, I will share our effort in establishing an extracellular RNA sequencing workflow for biomarker discovery.
