| Research Abstract |
I have constructed a novel method for the determination of poly(A) in eukaryotic mRNA, and designated as PACHINCO RT-PCR. The method was optimized for the application of automatic microchip DNA sequencers, and the elongation of the poly(A) of Per1 clock gene transcripts was clearly determined. Subsequently, the method was applied for NGS sequencers for the improvement of the throughput and analytical precision for poly(A) determination. Accordingly, I have collected mRNAs with the circadian oscillation of poly(A) length in both a rat suprachiasmatic nucleus derived cell line and mouse suprachiasmatic cells.
