It was once assumed that cell populations were homogeneous, but the latest evidence shows that heterogeneity does in fact exist even within small cell populations. Gene expression measurements based on the homogenized cell population are misleading averages and don't account for the small but critical changes occurring in individual cells. Individual cells can differ dramatically in size, protein levels, and expressed RNA transcripts, and these variations are key to answering previously unsolvable questions in cancer research, stem cell biology, immunology, developmental biology, and neurology.

Video: Less time to real-time PCR with Ambion Cells-to-CT kits Traditionally the first step in real-time PCR is to isolate the RNA. This isolation step can require significant time and involve multiple handling steps—and a risk of sample loss. Ambion Cells-to-CT kits provide a simple and rapid method for preparing cell lysates. | ||
