Is there a quick assay that tells the rate of mutation accumulation of a cancer cell line in different time points?

03 March 2015 0 8K Report

Except using illumina's sequencing. I am looking for a cheap and quick essay that can estimate the rate of mutation accumulation.

Is the RNA degradation rate of frozen normal tissue in -80 much faster than tumor tissue?

I noticed that frozen normal tissues very often have much lower RIN values (from bioanalyzer) while matched tumor tissues still have pretty good RIN values. I suspect that it is because the...

Would RNA quality/quantity be good enough for sequencing when the liver tumor samples are frozen and sliced?

One of my colleague thinks that the RNA quality should be fine for those cryo-sliced liver tumor samples. We just need to use more sliced samples to get enough RNA. Is this correct?
