Protocol is the first in a set of three describing fluorescent mRNA differential display (FDD or FDDRT-PCR). The method begins with the harvesting of total RNA from the tissue-cultured cells of interest. For other starting materials, such as blood samples, please see Extraction and Purification of RNA from Blood Samples for Fluorescent mRNA Differential Display. - [Read Extraction and Purification of RNA from Tissue-Cultured Cells for Fluorescent mRNA Differential]
Protocol is the second in a set of three, describing fluorescent mRNA differential display (FDD or FDDRT-PCR). For the purposes of FDD gene expression analysis, as well as any other RNA-based gene expression technologies, contaminating genomic DNA must be removed before reverse transcription and subsequent PCR. - [Read Removal of Genomic DNA from Total RNA for Use in Fluorescent mRNA Differential Display Protocol]
