Abstract
The invention is based on the use of intronic RNA in monitoring gene expression. Accordingly, the present invention concerns methods of gene expression profiling using intronic RNA, the expression of which correlates with the expression of corresponding exonic RNA, and diagnostic and prognostic methods based on the results of such gene expression studies.
