Abstract

NanoString nCounter Analysis System is a newly developed gene expression detection platform that directly measures multiplexed mRNA levels through digital counting of individual mRNA transcripts.This technology uses as little as 100 ng of RNA and can obtain accurate gene quantitative data from up to 800 genes in one reaction.It requires no reverse transcription,enzymes and amplifications,and its sensitivity and accuracy are comparable to real time quantitative PCR.NanoString technology has been more and more extensively used in frontiers of biomedical research and clinics such as in validation of data from high-throughput platforms,gene expression profiling,gene regulatory network,molecular subtyping,diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. Key words: NanoString; Digital gene analysis; Multiplexed gene quantitation; Biomedical fields
