Cell-type-specific patterns of gene expression

摘要

Among the methods, compositions, combinations and kits provided herein are those for determining gene expression levels in one or more cell types in heterogeneous cell samples, for identifying genes differentially expressed in different cell types, and for detecting a cell type in a sample from a subject. Also provided herein are methods, compositions, combinations and kits for determining gene expression levels in cells corresponding to phenotypes, and for identifying a phenotype of a subject by detecting differentially expressed genes.
