Abstract
Methods and compositions are provided for analyzing differences in the RNA profiles between a plurality of different physiological samples. In the subject methods, a set of a representational number of distinct gene specific primers is used to generate labeled nucleic acids from each of the different physiological samples. The labeled nucleic acids are then compared to each other and differences in the RNA profiles are determined. The subject methods find use in methods of identifying differential gene expression.
