Evaluation of the branched-chain DNA assay for measurement of RNA in formalin-fixed tissues: reproducible measurement of gene expression panels related to therapeutic responsiveness in clinical samples
TL;DR: In this paper, a branched-chain DNA amplification system was used for the analysis of gene expression panels in clinical samples, which was shown to be more reliable and sensitive than qPCR.
