Identification of differentially expressed genes is one of the major challenges in molecular biology. Several techniques allow the cloning of such sequences. However, methods such as differential hybridization are time-consuming and require large amounts of mRNA. Recently a new approach has been successfully developed: differential display by polymerase chain reaction (DD PCR). This technique has been proven to be highly effective in identifying sequences that are differentially expressed in various cell types.
