Small RNA deep sequencing followed by quantitative real-time RT-PCR was used to profile sncRNAs in 50 samples of spent culture medium from morula with different development potentials (no potential (degradation/developmental arrest), low potential (poor-quality blastocyst), and high potential (good/excellent quality blastocyst capable of implanting and leading to live birth)) obtained from 27 subfertile couples who underwent in vitro fertilization. We have shown that the quality of embryos at the morula stage is determined by secretion/uptake rates of certain sets of piRNAs and miRNAs, namely hsa_piR_011291, hsa_piR_019122, hsa_piR_001311, hsa_piR_015026, hsa_piR_015462, hsa_piR_016735, hsa_piR_019675, hsa_piR_020381, hsa_piR_020485, hsa_piR_004880, hsa_piR_000807, hsa-let-7b-5p, and hsa-let-7i-5p.

New sequencing instruments make it possible to rapidly generate large amounts of sequence data at substantially lower cost. These high-throughput sequencing technologies (e.g. Roche 454 FLX, Life Technology SOLiD, Dover Polonator, Helicos HeliScope and Illumina Genome Analyzer) make whole genome sequencing and resequencing, transcript sequencing as well as quantification of gene expression, DNA-protein interactions and DNA methylation feasible at an unanticipated scale. In the field of evolutionary genomics, high-throughput sequencing permitted studies
