NORMALIZATION OF SAMPLES FOR AMPLIFICATION REACTIONS

摘要

The present invention provides oligonucleotide primers, compositions, methods, and kits for determining the amount of gDNA or the number of cells from which a cell lysate originated. The invention relies on detection and amplification of unique genomic sequences within the genome of an organism of interest to determine the amount of genomic nucleic acid in a sample. The invention can be used to normalize samples from particular cells, cell types, or organism, and provide an accurate basis for comparison of expression of genes across the samples.
