RAP-PCR技术及其应用 RAP-PCR,from Theory to Applications

RAP-PCR是以PCR为基础构建RNA指纹图谱,研究基因差异表达的有效方法.所显示的种系特异性差异可用于对基因的遗传作图;所揭示的组织特异性差异可用于研究特异基因的表达.该法可检测各种情形下RNA群体间的差异.本文简介其基本原理及在基因差异表达研究领域的最新应用。 Abstract:RAP-PCR is a useful method based on PCR to display fingerprint of RNA populations and to study differential gene expression.The strain-specific differences revealed should be useful for genetic mapping of genes.The tissue-spe-cific differences revealed might be useful for studying differential gene expression.In this review,we introduce the theory of RAP-PCR and its recent applications.
