Short Protocol

1. Spin all tubes 5 to 10 s before use.
2. Perform first strand cDNA synthesis.
3. Perform second strand cDNA synthesis.
4. Amplify the double-stranded (ds) cDNA.
5. Purify the double-stranded cDNA.
6. Transcribe the ds cDNA with T7 RNA polymerase in vitro.
7. Purify the amplified RNA (aRNA).
8. Perform cDNA synthesis on aRNA using aminoallyl-labeled dNTPs.
