Method for high-throughput gene expression profile analysis

摘要

The present invention embraces a method for high-throughput gene profiling with high specificity and sensitivity. With this system, >1000 mRNA species can be co-amplified using gene-specific primers from a single cell. The primers are designed to amplify sequences of desirable length, which are in different exons. The exons can be either adjacent and separated by a large intron or include more than two exons. The amplified sequences are then analyzed by microarray with probes hybridizing to neighboring exons.
