Abstract

A method of obtaining a library of tags able to define a specific state of a biological sample, such as a tissue or a cell culture. The present method provides an important advantage over other methods used to analyze gene expression in that libraries may be generated from tiny amounts of cells, e.g., from 30,000-100,000 cells.
