摘要 |
The present teachings provide methods for reverse transcribing, and detecting, a plurality of small nucleic acids such as micro RNAs, from the same reaction mixture as a plurality of messenger RNAs. High levels of multiplexing are provided by the use of a plurality of zip-coded stem-loop reverse transcription primers, along with an oligo-dT-promoter-containing reverse transcription primer, in the same reverse transcription reaction mixture. The resulting products can be amplified in an in vitro transcription reaction, and detected on a solid support such as an array. The present teachings also provide compositions, kits, and devices for performing and detecting the reverse transcription reactions described herein.
