    摘要: Systems and methods for laser capture microdissection are disclosed. One method incorporates the step of changing the beam diameter of the laser to adjust the size of the activated area of the transfer film and as a result, the size of the at least one microdissected portion of the sample adhered to the transfer film. Changing the beam diameter while operating the laser in idle mode permits the user to visualize the spot on the desired portion of the tissue sample and simultaneously increase or decrease the beam spot to optimally match the beam spot size with the portion of the tissue to be extracted. This method advantageously provides increased accuracy in microdissection and reduced heating of the tissue sample.

    摘要: The invention provides materials and methods for the detection of nucleic acid expression via the 3′ portion of expressed sequences. Embodiments of the invention include the use of microarrays comprising nucleic acid probes that are complementary to the 3′ end of expressed sequences and by the use of quantitative PCR (Q-PCR) based amplification of sequences found at or near the 3′ end of expressed sequences. The invention may be used to detect the presence of expressed nucleic acids encoding particular gene products (sequences present in a “transcriptome”).
