cRNA amplification methods enhance microarray identification of transcripts expressed in the nervous system

Background: DNA microarrays provide a powerful method for global analysis of gene expression. The application of this technology to specific cell types and tissues, however, is typically limited by small amounts of available mRNA, thereby necessitating amplification. Here we compare microarray results obtained with two different methods of RNA amplification to profile gene expression in the C. elegans larval nervous system. Results: We used the mRNA-tagging strategy to isolate transcripts spec...
