MicroRNA Analysis In North America: A Market Research Report For Life Science Tool Providers, Trends and Opportunities in Early Growth Markets published by Percepta Associates Inc. in October, 2008. This report price starts from US $ 2995.

Introduction

Abstract

Overview

Interest in non-coding RNA has exploded in recent years. The diverse function and roles of microRNA (miRNA) in disease and development has captured the interest of the research community. The promise of miRNAs serving as useful biomarkers in clinical diagnostics and therapeutic targets has already led to several clinical trials, acquisitions, startups and spinouts as companies and investors look to capitalize on the potential.

Percepta' s MicroRNA Analysis In North America: A Market Research Report For Life Science Tool Providers takes a close look at the endogenous miRNA research market in the United States and Canada. This report was developed through a combination of primary market research of active miRNA researchers collected in interviews and online questionnaires as well as secondary market research on the suppliers, technologies, and commercial products. This Trends & Opportunities in Early Growth Markets report is designed to provide research tool providers valuable insights into the current miRNA research market and the technologies driving it.

Highlights of this report include:

Comprehensive Technology Review
miRNA Market Insights
miRNA Researcher Profile
Overall Market Size and Growth Estimates
Supplier Opportunities Analysis

The Trends & Opportunities in Early Growth Markets report focuses on the following market sub-segments:

miRNA Purification
miRNA Cloning
miRNA Microarray Labeling
miRNA Microarrays
miRNA Sequencing
miRNA qRT-PCR
miRNA Functional Analysis: Inhibitors and Over-expression
miRNA Localization
miRNA Target Analysis

Participant Demographics for the Online Survey and Telephone Interviews

Participants from the academic, government and commercial market segments are well represented, with nearly 15% of respondents employed in an industry setting. The majority (63%) of respondents are currently working at a University, College, or Medical School. All participants are located in the United States or Canada.

Participants hold diverse roles at their institutions. Junior (Lab Tech, Grad Students), mid level (Post-Doc, Lab Manager) and senior (Professor/PI, Group Leader) scientists are well represented in the data set, with the most cited job titles being Post-Doctoral Fellow (23%), Senior Scientist (18%) and Graduate Student (15%). A wide variety of scientific areas of specialization is also evident, led by Molecular Biology (25%), Cell Biology (12%), Biochemistry (9%) and Genomics (7%). Participants indicating eighteen additional scientific areas of specialization comprise the remainder.

Small (1 to 5 scientists), mid-size ( 6 to 10 scientists) and large laboratories (>10 scientists) are well represented in the respondent data set: 38% of respondents work in labs where 1-5 people regularly perform experiments, followed by 35% of respondents working in labs where 6-10 people perform experiments. Larger labs (>10 researchers) account for 27% of participants.
