  • Artificial genes for use as controls in gene expression analysis systems
    Publication number: 20060115851
    Abstract: Method of producing universal controls for use in gene expression analysis systems such as macroarrays, real-time PCR, northern blots, SAGE and microarrays. The controls are generated either from near-random sequence of DNA, or from intergenic or intronic regions of a genome. Twenty-three specific control sequences are also disclosed. Also presented are methods of using these controls, including as negative controls, positive controls, and as calibrators of a gene expression analysis system.
    Type: Application
