Laser capture microdissection in Ectocarpus siliculosus: the pathway to cell-specific transcriptomics in brown algae
Laser capture microdissection (LCM) facilitates the isolation of individual cells from tissue sections, and when combined with RNA amplification techniques, it is an extremely powerful tool for examining genome-wide expression profiles in specific cell-types. LCM has been widely used to address vari...
