whole blood RNA (no depletion_Affymetrix) | Good reproducibility |
 | Good target integrity |
Method 2 – Affymetrix one-cycle target labeling of | High sensitivity |
whole blood RNA with globin PNAs during cDNA | High reproducibility |
synthesis (Globin PNAs_Affymetrix) | Good target integrity |
Method 3 – Affymetrix one-cycle labeling of whole | High sensitivity |
blood RNA treated with Ambion GLOBINclear | Lowest reproducibility |
(GLOBINclear_Affymetrix) | Marginal target integrity |
Method 4 – NuGEN Ovation v1 amplification and | Moderate sensitivity |
labeling of whole blood RNA (no depletion_NuGEN) | High reproducibility |
 | Good target integrity |
