the objective of this research is to identify arabidopsis thaliana genes encoding acid phosphatases induced by phosphate starvation. multiple alignments of eukaryotic acid phosphatase amino acid sequences led to the classification of these proteins into four groups including purple acid phosphatases (paps). specific primers were degenerated and designed based on conserved sequences of paps isol...

This method uses PCR to amplify and display many cDNAs derived from the mRNAs of a given cell or tissue type. The method relies on two different types of synthetic oligonucleotides: anchored antisense primers and arbitrary sense primers. A typical anchored primer is complementary to approx. 13 nucleotides of the poly(A) tail of mRNA and the adjacent two nucleotides of the transcribed sequence. ...

Differential display and DNA microarray have emerged as the two most popular methods for gene expression profiling. Here, we developed a multicolor fluorescent differential display (FDD) method that combines the virtues of both differential display in signal amplification and DNA microarray in signal analysis. As in DNA microarray, RNA samples being compared can be labeled with either a red or ...
