Quantitative real-time PCR analyses comparing miRNA expression patterns in tissues using different extraction methods. Fold abundance of miRNAs quantitated using TaqMan MicroRNA Assays via qRT-PCR from brain (a), liver (b) and lung (c) tissues. miRNA expression was normalised using sno202 as a reference gene. Values indicate the average normalised miRNA expression in different tissues on a Log2 scale with SEM error bars. * p < 0.05 when compared to five the other miRNAs for each method
