RT-PCR is commonly used to test for genetic diseases and to characterize gene expression in various tissue types, cell types, and over developmental time courses. This serves as a form of expression profiling, but typically as a candidate approach. RT-PCR is also commonly used to clone cDNAs for further use with other molecular biology techniques (e.g., see Oligo(dT)-primed RT-PCR isolation of polyadenylated RNA degradation intermediates and Circularized RT-PCR (cRT-PCR): analysis of RNA 5' ends, 3' ends, and poly(A) tails).
逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)通常用于检测遗传疾病,以及在各种组织类型、细胞类型和发育时间进程中表征基因表达。这是一种表达谱分析形式,但通常作为一种候选方法。RT-PCR也常用于克隆互补DNA(cDNA),以便与其他分子生物学技术进一步联用(例如,见寡聚(dT)引物逆转录聚合酶链反应分离聚腺苷酸化RNA降解中间体和环化逆转录聚合酶链反应(cRT-PCR):RNA 5'端、3'端和聚(A)尾的分析)。
