1. A method of identifying neurite cDNAs comprising:
- (a) converting an mRNA population in selected neurites into cDNA;
(b) determining mRNA expression in the selected neurites;
(c) comparing the relative levels of mRNA expression; and
(d) identifying neurite cDNAs based on the level of mRNA expression.

Abstract
A method of identifying neurite cDNA clones by determining and comparing mRNA expression in selected neurites is provided. cDNA clones identified by this method are also provided. In addition, methods of profiling mRNA expression and diagnosing and treating conditions associated with a pattern of mRNA expression by determining an mRNA expression profile are provided.

3. A method of profiling mRNA expression in a selected neurite comprising:
-
(a) converting an mRNA population in a selected neurite into cDNA; (b) making the cDNA double stranded; (c) linearly amplifying the double stranded cDNA into aRNA; and (d) using the aRNA as a probe in reverse phase Northern analysis to produce an mRNA expression profile of the selected neurite. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5)
