| Method |
(1st primary source abstract:)"[Researchers] conceived an idea of competitive PCR between genomic DNA and cDNA." (2nd primary source abstract:) "[Researchers] developed a quantitative sequencing-based method called RNA-Seq for mapping transcribed regions, in which complementary DNA fragments are subjected to high-throughput sequencing and mapped to the genome." |
| Comments |
"[Researchers] used an updated total amount of mRNA molecules per yeast cell that has been corrected from that previously used (15000 molecules from [Hereford et al., 1977 PMID 321129]) to more recent and precise calculations obtained from massive parallel sequencing and competitive PCR transcriptome measurements: 26000 molecules
