Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention pertains to methods related to cloning nucleic acids from biological samples, particularly pathological tissue samples. This method includes hybridizing a population of oligonucleotide sequence probes comprising degenerate sequence tags to a fixed tissue, isolating the hybridized oligonucleotide sequence probes and amplifying the sequence tags in the hybridized oligonucleotide sequence probes. This method can be utilized to identify genes associated with disease and to quantitate the expression of disease-related transcripts. The method can also be used to identify truncated mRNAs.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A method of obtaining a cell or tissue of interest from a fixed biological specimen, said method comprising: (a) providing a population of oligonucleotide sequence probes, wherein each of said oligonucleotide sequence probes comprises a sequence tag flanked by a 5′-end extension sequence and a 3′-end extension sequence, wherein said sequence tag is a degenerate sequence and wherein at least one of said 5′-end extension sequence and said 3′-end extension sequenc…
