Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that the numbers of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are more than those of protein-coding genes in various organisms. Although the detection methods for lncRNAs are being increasingly established, there are advantages and disadvantages that exist for each method. In this opinion article, I highlight the differences between microarrays and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) for the detection of lncRNAs. Compared to RNA-seq, microarrays are limited to the known sequences. However, the detection method as well as data analysis workflow is more established, which makes it easier to analyze the data for bench scientists without extensive knowledge about computer programming. In order to highlight the usage of microarrays over RNA-seq for the detection of lncRNAs, we are organizing a special issue for High-Throughput called "Microarrays in Non-Coding RNAs Profiling", which will include the specific usages of microarrays for lncRNAs.

期刊介绍:
High-Throughput (formerly Microarrays, ISSN 2076-3905) is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed scientific journal that provides an advanced forum for the publication of studies reporting high-dimensional approaches and developments in Life Sciences, Chemistry and related fields. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results based on high-throughput techniques as well as computational and statistical tools for data analysis and interpretation. The full experimental or methodological details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. High-Throughput invites submissions covering several topics, including, but not limited to: -Microarrays -DNA Sequencing -RNA Sequencing -Protein Identification and Quantification -Cell-based Approaches -Omics Technologies -Imaging -Bioinformatics -Computational Biology/Chemistry -Statistics -Integrative Omics -Drug Discovery and Development -Microfluidics -Lab-on-a-chip -Data Mining -Databases -Multiplex Assays
