Table 2: qRT-PCR validation of array response. qRT-PCR was conducted using custom designed primer plates to validate the response of the miRNA arrays. Statistically significant differentially expressed miRNA with corresponding p-values and fold changes (FC) which were found to respond at all doses of α-particle radiation tested (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5Gy). Statistical cut-off at p ≤ 0.05
