General description: | WTA2 is optimized to amplify RNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and other damaged or degraded samples. Whole Transcriptome Amplification (WTA) technology, allows for representative amplification of low nanogram quantities of total RNA in less than 4 hours without 3′-bias. Amplification products are suitable for applications such as qPCR, micro array analysis, and cloning. The WTA2 kit contains the polymerase needed to amplify the cDNA library. |
Principle: | The WTA2 process involves two steps. In the first step, sample RNA is reverse transcribed with non-self-complementary primers composed of a quasi-random 3′ end and a universal 5′ end. During this process, displaced single strands serve as new templates for primer annealing and extension. The resultant cDNA library, comprised of random, overlapping 100 - 1000 base fragments flanked by universal end sequence. The 2nd step amplifies the cDNA library by PCR using WTA2 polymerase and a universal end primer to produce WTA2 product. |
