Microarray amplification bias: loss of 30% differentially expressed genes due to long probe – poly(A)-tail distances

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Laser microdissection microscopy has become a rising tool to assess gene expression profiles of pure cell populations. Given the low yield of RNA, a second round of amplification is usually mandatory to yield sufficient amplified-RNA...
