Assay Name
In Vitro RNA Expression Analysis Assay (Cap Analysis)
Short Description
SW 780-cell based In Vitro RNA Expression Analysis Assay (Cap Analysis)
Assay Description
Cap analysis gene expression involves the sequencing of PCR-amplified cDNA tags obtained from the 5' end of mRNA. For the identification of starting sites of transcription, the cap analysis gene expression technique has become a useful platform.
Assay Type

Assay Type Details
Following transcription, primary transcript RNA is converted into mature RNA by post-transcriptional modifications. Post-transcriptional modification includes three major steps namely the addition of a 5'cap, addition of a 3'polyadenylation tail and RNA splicing. Stability of RNA has been considered as very important for gene expression and proteins at the post-transcriptional level.
