cDNA sequencing: a means of understanding cellular physiology

Curr Opin Biotechnol. 1994 Dec;5(6):599-603. doi: 10.1016/0958-1669(94)90081-7.

Abstract

High-throughput automated sequencing has enabled researchers to examine large numbers of clones from a cDNA library as a measure of the steady-state levels of mRNA species. The past year has witnessed many new applications of this technique to allow the qualitative and quantitative comparison of the changes in transcript levels from multiple genes.
