Project description:The use of a graduated series of Arabidopsis thaliana genomic deletion mutations (of sizes ranging from 4 bp to ~5 kb) to optimize CGH-based genomic deletion detection Microarray-based ultra-high resolution discovery of genomic deletion mutations
Project description:Laser capture microdissection (LCM) provides a useful method for isolating specific cells or tissues from biological samples. Here, we adapted microdissection protocols to allow high-resolution transcript analysis of different tissues from developing Arabidopsis seed. However, to obtain enough RNA for microarray analyses it was necessary to amplify the RNA. Microarray analyses, using endosperm derived RNA amplified by two-round IVT, reproducibly identified endosperm enriched marker genes. Keywords: LCM Endosperm Arabidopsis
