Lung cancer-related nucleic acids
View Patent ↗Described are polynucleotides associated with lung cancer. The polynucleotides are miRNAs, miRNA precursors, and associated nucleic acids. Methods and compositions are described that can be used for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of lung cancer. Also described are methods that can be used to identify modulators of the disease-associated polynucleotides. Also described are methods and compositions for linear amplification and labeling of a targeted nucleic acid. The amplified targeted molecules may be used in hybridization techniques like Luminex and Microarray analysis.
1. An isolated nucleic acid of 21-24 nucleotides in length comprising a sequence selected from the group consisting of
(a) SEQ ID NO: 8662;
(b) the complement of (a); and
(c) a DNA encoding (a) or (b).
2. A vector comprising a heterologous sequence, wherein the heterologous sequence consists of the sequence of the nucleic acid of claim 1 .
3. A probe comprising a heterologous sequence, wherein the heterologous sequence consists of the sequence of the nucleic acid of claim 1 .
4. An isolated nucleic acid of 21-24 nucleotides in length comprising a sequence at least 90% identical to a sequence selected from the group consisting of:
(a) SEQ ID NO: 8662;
(b) the complement of (a); and
(c) a DNA encoding (a) or (b).
5. A vector comprising a heterologous sequence, wherein the heterologous sequence consists of the sequence of the nucleic acid of claim 4 .
6. A probe comprising a heterologous sequence, wherein the heterologous sequence consists of the sequence of the nucleic acid of claim 4 .
