Isolation and characterization of a retinal pigment epithelial cell fluorophore: an all-trans-retinal dimer conjugate.

abstract：:We present a simple molecular indexing method for quantitative targeted RNA sequencing, in which mRNAs of interest are selectively captured from complex cDNA libraries and sequenced to determine their absolute concentrations. cDNA fragments are individually labeled so that each molecule can be tracked from the origina...
