Schematic diagram depicting the principle of stem–loop primer-based small RNA detection. The original design requires one TaqMan probe for each target RNA (lower left). The universal design uses a universal TaqMan-based probe which does not overlap with the target binding domain of the stem–loop primer and, hence, can be used to detect any target sequence (lower right).
