manufacture_protocol: Taqman ® microRNA Low density arrays (TLDA). The ABI Taqman® microRNA Low density arrays (TLDA, Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, www.appliedbiosystems.com) were selected as the platform for microRNA melanoma profiling. This platform consists of 2 arrays: TLDA panel A (377 functionally defined microRNAs) and TLDA panel B (289 microRNAs whose function is not yet completely defined) for a total of 666 microRNA assays. Each array/panel includes, among other endogenous controls, the mammalian U6 assay that is repeated four times on each card as a positive control as well as an assay unrelated to mammalian species, ath-miR159a, as negative control
