TaqMan® Probe-Based Gene Expression Analysis

TaqMan® Gene Expression Assays consist of a pair of unlabeled PCR primers and a TaqMan® probe with a FAM™ or VIC® dye label and minor groove binder (MGB) moiety on the 5' end, and non-fluorescent quencher (NFQ) dye on the 3' end. RNA from samples of interest is reverse transcribed into cDNA, and the synthesized cDNA serves as the template for real-time PCR.
