Much information can be obtained from knowledge of the relative expression level of each gene in the transcriptome. With the current advances in technology as little as a single cell is required as starting material for gene expression experiments. The mRNA from a single cell may be linearly amplified to an excess of 106 -fold. Reverse transcription and fluorescent labeling of the amplified RNA yields a stable target for subsequent hybridization to DNA microarrays.
