Dahlquist:DNA Microarray Protocol
From OpenWetWare
Overview
This protocol describes all the steps necessary to perform aRNA synthesis, labeling, hybridization, and scanning of DNA microarrays for Saccharomyces cerevisiae, beginning with total RNA.
Materials
Supplies & Reagents
- Amino Allyl MessageAmp™ II aRNA Amplification Kit (Applied Biosystems Catalog #AM1753)
