Optimization of SMART-based PCR for amplification from picogram amounts of RNA. by Lin, Zhaoting.

“…The optimized conditions were capable of producing amplification products that not only provided good overall coverage of all probes and genes, but also generated good Pearson correlations above 0.80 when compared to amplification from 500ng, which served as a control. The number of genes which expressed at least three-fold change generally decreased with the amount of total RNA input used for amplification, suggesting that the relative abundance of differentially expressed genes is not as well maintained and becomes more variable when total RNA input approaches minute amounts.…”
