Abstract

Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) is a high-throughput method for global gene expression analysis that allows the quantitative and simultaneous analysis of a large number of transcripts. SAGE is a digital method and its sensitivity depends only on the number of tags sequenced. Furthermore, SAGE is a powerful tool for finding novel genes that are expressed under certain conditions or in certain tissues. SAGE has been widely used in fields as diverse as cancer research and the development and study of microorganisms. The SAGE method is a series of routine molecular biology procedure and can, at least in principle, be carried out in any laboratory. However, the number of consecutive steps is quite large and in practice, SAGE has been difficult to carry out on a routine basis.
