Abstract
In particular embodiments in accordance with the present invention, a wax-embedded tissue specimen is digested and the resulting digested tissue specimen is purified to provide a purified RNA fraction. The purified RNA fraction is treated with one or more enzymes to provide a sample containing dephosphorylated RNA; the sample is contacted with an enzyme having an RNA ligation activity in the presence of a labeled substrate to provide labeled RNA. Kits for performing the described methods are described. Methods of performing an array analysis of a labeled RNA sample are also described.
