We will qPCR approximately 95 genes, verify gene expression profiles, FFPE mRNA. I would like to know if you think it is necessary to perform a "pre-amplification", previous cDNA synthesis, to increase the amount of total transcriptome.
If so, do you have a kit recommendation?
In the past, we used TransPlex Whole Transcriptome
Amplification kit (WTA2; Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri,
USA). The synthesized cDNA was purified using QIAquick PCR
purification kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany), but that was about 10 years ago.
Thanks for your help.
