“…As such, most studies have explored the abundance of individual mRNAs in one specific biofluid by qRT-PCR (Herring et al, 2018;Maker et al, 2019;Marzioni et al, 2015;Oreo et al, 2014;Tian et al, 2016;Welch et al, 2016). circRNAs have been reported in saliva (Bahn et al, 2015), semen (Liu et al, 2019), blood (Li et al, 2018a), and urine (Kö lling et al, 2019;Vo et al, 2019). Recently, the mRNA content of plasma and serum has been investigated using dedicated sequencing approaches such as phospho-RNA-seq, small input liquid volume extracellular RNA sequencing (SILVER-seq), and the SMARTer Stranded Total RNA-Seq Kit method (Everaert et al, 2019;Giraldez et al, 2019;Metzenmacher et al, 2020;Zhou et al, 2019).…”
