SuperSAGE Technology recommends itself for
-
the development and evaluation of targets for new drugs.
-
elucidation and validation of target genes for combatting parasites.
-
definition of genes in genomic sequences.
-
detection of anti-sense and alternatively spliced transcript isoforms.
-
analyses of gene functions by gene silencing
- screening of whole plant germplasms for the expression profiles of all individuals and identification of the agronomic potential of each plant.
-
screening of animal populations for the expression profiles of all individuals and the establishment of the expression phenotype of animals with a desired phenotype.
-
analysis of regulatory and metabolic pathways even in non-model organisms such as banana or Nicotiana benthamiana, for which no extended cDNA or genomic sequence information exist.
SuperSAGE technology expands the range of SAGE much beyond the current limits, and will find wide-spread applications in all fields of the Life Sciences.
