Massively parallel signature sequencing

Methods Mol Biol. 2006:331:285-311. doi: 10.1385/1-59745-046-4:285.

Abstract

Massively parallel signature sequencing is an ultra-high throughput sequencing technology. It can simultaneously sequence millions of sequence tags, and, therefore, is ideal for whole genome analysis. When applied to expression profiling, it reveals almost every transcript in the sample and provides its accurate expression level. This chapter describes the technology and its application in establishing stem cell transcriptome databases.
