Quantitative Expression Profiling of RNA from Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE)and Fresh Frozen (FF) Breast Cancer samples
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Unluckily, FFPE archival methods lead to partial RNA degradation, limiting the amount of derivable information. This study aims to evaluate if the DASL gene expression assay, designed to generate reproducible data from degraded RNAs, is a reliable method to apply on RNA from FFPE tissues. In order to do that, we analyzed 20 FFPE breast cancer samples and 20 FF (Fresh Frozen) matched samples with the Illumina Whole Genome DASL platform for a genome-wide expression profiling.
