Illumina Assay Whole-Genome Gene Expression Direct Hybridization Experienced User Card
Below you will find brief information for Whole-Genome Gene Expression Direct Hybridization Assay. This card provides information about the Illumina Whole-Genome Gene Expression Direct Hybridization Assay, which is a method for quantifying gene expression levels. It involves labeling and hybridizing cRNA to a BeadChip, followed by washing and signal detection. The iScan System or the BeadArray Reader can then be used to image the BeadChip and analyze the data.

Sample
Labeling
(Optional)
The Illumina recommended sample labeling procedure starts with unlabeled total RNA extracted from a eukaryotic sample and produces an amplified pool of biotin-labeled cRNA corresponding to the polyadenylated (mRNA) fraction.
The labeled cRNA is then hybridized to the array.
The most consistent results are achieved by hybridizing equivalent amounts of cRNA on each array. An appropriate volume of cRNA from each sample is aliquoted into hybridization tubes.
Labeling Kits
[ ] To perform the sample labeling procedure, use an appropriate labeling kit and follow the instructions in the kit.
Process
Overview
When following the sample labeling kit instructions, the process consists of these major steps:
[ ] Reverse Transcription to Synthesize First Strand cDNA - Convert the mRNA fraction to single-stranded cDNA using a T7 Oligo(dT) Primer to synthesize cDNA containing a T7 promoter sequence.
[ ] Second-Strand Synthesis - Convert the single-stranded cDNA to produce double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) template for transcription.
[ ]
[ ] cDNA Purification - Remove RNA and other residual components that would inhibit in vitro transcription.
In Vitro
Transcription (IVT) - Amplify and label multiple copies of biotinylated cRNA from the double-stranded cDNA templates.
[ ]
[ ] cRNA Purification - Remove unincorporated NTPs, salts, and other residuals to prepare for analysis with Illumina's Direct Hybridization assay.
Quantification (optional) - Quantitate small RNA volumes. See Quant
