Human Testis (HuTe.basl) The mRNA was analyzed using Agilent's Bioanalyzer and passed our quality control test. The mRNA was processed according to the MPSS protocol as outlined in the publications : Brenner, S., et al. (2000) Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 97(4):1665-1670 and Brenner, S. et al., Nat. Biotechnol 18(6): 630-634. Briefly, the mRNA was reverse transcribed and the cDNA was digested with DpnII. The cDNA fragment starting at the 3' most DpnII site and ending with the polyA was cloned into a Megaclone vector library. The resulting library was amplified and loaded onto microbeads. About 1.6 million microbeads were loaded into each flow cell and the signature sequences were determined by a series of enzymatic reactions as outlined in the above publications. The abundance for each signature was converted to transcripts per million (tpm) for the purpose of comparisons between samples.
