LargeRare
Full-length cDNA Libraries
Large mRNAs
are notoriously difficult to convert
into full-length cDNA. In conventional cDNA library construction
and PCR-based methods, the inherent
inefficiency of the reverse transcriptase enzyme results in very few
large genes in the final product.
At the same time, researchers have difficulty with very rare transcripts by
standard cDNA-based methodologies. In conventional cDNA synthesis methods,
high- to medium-abundance transcripts are reverse-transcribed with
relative ease; however, rare transcripts are not easily converted
to full-length cDNA.
We have developed
a technology that bypasses this limitation. The proprietary gene
enrichment technology is designed to specifically enrich
for large, full-length or rare transcripts in the final cDNA preparation.
Each cDNA is tissue-specific and double-stranded, which has already been pre-enriched for large
or rare transcripts.
Thus, researchers can rapidly and easily amplify almost any target
transcript-regardless of its size and abundance.
The LargeRare Full-Length cDNAs are ideal for amplifying the gene of interest using gene-specific primers. Alternatively, you
can profile expression of your gene of interest by using the cDNAs prepared from different tissues. You can immediately get results with this ready-to-use
cDNA -just
run a simple PCR and visualize your results by agarose gel electrophoresis.

Figure 1. The Large-Full-Length 7
kilo-bases of human Titin gene
was successfully amplified from our Full-Length cDNA generated
from different tissues. However, the Titin gene was not amplified
using other commercially available, non-enriched cDNAs. Lanes A: our
Large cDNA. Lanes B: Competitor, non-enriched cDNA. The Marker is standard 1-kb DNA ladder. |

Human Testis Rare Full-Length cDNA compared to that of other commercially
available, non-enriched cDNA. Lanes A: our rare cDNA. Lanes B: Competitor, non-enriched
cDNA. Lane M: 1-kb DNA ladder. |
