Expression difference of miR-10b and miR-135b between the fertile and infertile semen samples (p)

Non-protein coding RNAs, miRNAs (microRNAs), are a class of promising molecular biomarkers for forensic body fluid identification as the very small size and their tissue-specific expression manners .A number of studies have showed that semen can be distinguished from forensic related body fluids by the semen-specific miRNAs through microassay screening and RT-RCR. Infertility is becoming a global health problem affecting 10% –15% of couples worldwide and half of the cases are due to male factors.
