MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous non-coding RNAs that play an important role in the control of developmental process of different cells by negative regulation of protein-coding gene expression. Analyzing miRNA expression in tissues or cells can supply valuable information for investigating the biological function of these molecules. Recently, researchers had proposed a number of approaches for analyzing the differences of miRNA expression among dif-ferent physiological or pathological conditions, and found that aberrant expression of miRNA was related to cancers, neu-rological disorders and heart diseases, etc. This review focuses on newly developed strategies for miRNA quantification, and elucidates in detail the probe-hybridization based methods including Northern blotting, microarray, gold nanoparticle labelling, and splinted ligation with radioactive labels. The amplification-based methods including quantitative PCR, rolling cycle amplification, invader assay, and the next generation sequencing methods were also discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods were compared.
