RACE to the 5' End
Invitrogen's Gene Racer Kit Expressed sequence tags are powerful tools for gene expression studies, but when there is simply no substitute for a full-length cDNA, researchers turn to protocols for the Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends (RACE). RACE techniques couple cDNA synthesis with a method that attaches a "known" sequence to the end of the gene to enable PCR amplification. Knowing the 5' end of a transcript can aid promoter, gene mapping, and alternate exon usage analyses. Unfortunately, 5' R
