Impact of Delay to Cryopreservation on RNA Integrity and Genome-Wide Expression Profiles in Resected Tumor Samples
The quality of tissue samples and extracted mRNA is a major source of variability in tumor transcriptome analysis using genome-wide expression microarrays. During and immediately after surgical tumor resection, tissues are exposed to metabolic, biochemical and physical stresses characterized as “war...
