NORMALIZATION OF cDNA LIBRARIES
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a cellular transcriptome, the number of mRNA copies per gene may differ by several orders. In cDNA libraries, performed from mRNA, these proportions are the same. Normalization methods allow us to equalize numbers of gene’s copies in the library. Normalized cDNA libraries are used to discover new genes transcribed at relatively low levels or for functional screenings. Here, we observed different cDNA libraries normalization methods, which were based on hybridization (renaturation) of cDNA or DNA, or RNA. Also we described duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) normalization protocol – simple and effective cDNA libraries normalization method.

Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) provide a rapid and efficient approach for gene discovery and analysis of gene expression in eukaryotes. ESTs have also become particularly important with recent expanded efforts in complete genome sequencing of understudied, nonmodel eukaryotes such as protists and algae. For these projects, ESTs provide an invaluable source of data for gene identification and pr...

Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) is a widely used method for separating DNA molecules that distinguish two closely related DNA samples. Two of the main SSH applications are cDNA subtraction and genomic DNA subtraction. In fact, SSH is one of the most powerful and popular methods for generating subtracted cDNA or genomic DNA libraries. The SSH method is based on a suppression PCR effe...
متن کاملNormalization and subtraction of cap-trapper-selected cDNAs to prepare full-length cDNA libraries for rapid discovery of new genes.
In the effort to prepare the mouse full-length cDNA encyclopedia, we previously developed several techniques to prepare and select full-length cDNAs. To increase the number of different cDNAs, we introduce here a strategy to prepare normalized and subtracted cDNA libraries in a single step. The method is based on hybridization of the first-strand, full-length cDNA with several RNA drivers, incl...
متن کاملSubtraction of cap-trapped full-length cDNA libraries to select rare transcripts.
The normalization and subtraction of highly expressed cDNAs from relatively large tissues before cloning dramatically enhanced the gene discovery by sequencing for the mouse full-length cDNA encyclopedia, but these methods have not been suitable for limited RNA materials. To normalize and subtract full-length cDNA libraries derived from limited quantities of total RNA, here we report a method t...
