1. A method for quantitative determination of a short-length RNA, which has a length of at most 100 nucleotides, comprising the steps of:

  • a) preparing, from a sample comprising said short-length RNA, a template polynucleotide which consists of

         1) a single stranded target sequence consisting of the sequence of said short-length RNA, its corresponding DNA sequence or a nucleotide sequence complementary to the sequence of said short-length RNA and

         2) a 5′ and

    /or a 3′

    adjacent nucleotide sequence by appending said 5′ and

    /or a 3′

    adjacent nucleotide sequence to said single stranded target sequence;

    b) using said template polynucleotide in a reverse transcription or a nucleotide polymerization to obtain a strand of cDNA; and

    c) performing a quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) including as template(s) said cDNA and optionally the template polynucleotide.
