The applicability of microarray-based transcriptome massive analysis is often limited by the need for large amounts of high-quality RNA. RNA arbitrarily primed PCR (RAP-PCR) is an unbiased fingerprinting PCR technique that reduces both the amount of initial material needed and the complexity of the transcriptome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using hybridization of RAP-PCR products as transcriptome representations to analyze differential gene expression in a microarray platform.
