摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for a reverse transcription reaction using a reversibly inactivated reverse transcriptase enzyme. The reversibly inactivated reverse transcriptase enzyme results from a chemical modification which inactivates the reverse transcriptase enzyme. The activity of the reverse transcriptase enzyme is recovered by an incubation of the reaction mixture at elevated temperature prior to, or as part of the reverse transcription reaction. The reverse transcriptase enzyme of the present invention provides for a signficant reduction in non-specific reverse transcription from template nucleic acid molecules because the formulation of the reaction mixture does not support the formation of reverse transcription products prior to activation of the reverse transcriptase.
摘要:
We hypothesized that gene expression patterns in peripheral blood cells may correlate with TAA disease status, and carried out a comprehensive gene expression survey on peripheral blood cells obtained from TAA patients and normal individuals. A distinct gene expression profile in peripheral blood cells can classify TAA patients from normal individuals. The genes provided by the present teachings define a set of diagnostic markers, thus providing a blood-based gene expression test to facilitate early detection of TAA disease. Methods of distinguishing ascending from descending TAA are also provided, as are methods of distinguishing familial from sporadic TAA.

摘要:
Interactive resource competition ranks resource users using coefficients of performance (CoP). Resource users compete for a target resource and each offer a quantifiable reciprocal resource in exchange for using the target resource. A trigger frequency of a predetermined action with respect to the target resource is recorded, and the CoP based on the respective reciprocal resource value and the trigger frequency is determined. The target resource is then allocated based on the ranking of the CoP's. An intermediate and credit fund account is used for both making payments and recording the trigger frequency. The competition is particularly useful for allocating an information display position in online electronic marketing.
