Whole genome dasl assay
The Whole Genome DASL assay is a gene expression profiling tool developed by Illumina. It utilizes the DASL (cDNA-mediated Annealing, Selection, extension, and Ligation) technology to measure the expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously from small or degraded RNA samples.

Illumina Whole Genome-DASL Expression Analysis
Evaluation of RNA profiling platforms
Example 4
This study was initiated to determine which technology was best suited to dealing with a range of good quality and degraded RNA samples. The platforms that were evaluated were the Affymetrix Exon Array with the NuGEN WT-Ovation FFPE process carried out at a laboratory services vendor (50 ng input), the Illumina whole genome DASL assay carried out at Expression Analysis (using 100 ng input RNA), and the Nanostring nCounter system carried out at Nanostring (100 ng and 200 ng input RNA). RNA samples were a selection of banked FNAs, ex vivo FNAs and prospective FNAs all collected in TRIzol. The samples had a range of RIN values (1-8) from highly degraded to intact samples and two sample subtypes (NHP/PTC).
In summary, although Nanostring was the only platform that did not require amplification of RNA, it was slightly less robust than Exon/FFPE and DASL at low RIN ranges, possibly due to the placement of primers at approximately 200 bp. The Exon/FFPE and DASL systems are comparable across the range of sample characteristics tested. While the Illumina Whole-Genome DASL array performed as well as the NuGEN FFPE/Affymetrix exon assay the decision was made to proceed with the NuGEN/Affymetrix system because of FDA readiness considerations of the various microarray platforms.

Illumina were processed using lumi package quantile normalisation [27 (link)]. Coefficient for age, derived from a linear model using probe set expression versus age and gender adjusted [28 (link)], was employed as a metric score to evaluate the influence of age in the gene expression from cirrhotic liver tissue. We performed pre-ranked gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) using the canonical pathways MSigDB collection signatures [29 (link)].
Ethics Committee of the Barcelona Hospital Clinic approved the experimental protocol (HCB/2011/6814). Experimental groups were defined considering patients’ age: young (n=7, mean age 42 ± 5 years old, range 33-48), old (n=7, mean age 62 ± 4, range 58-70).
Nucleic Acid Isolation and Profiling
After RNA extraction of samples, microRNA profiling was carried out by using the TaqMan Array Human MicroRNA Card A v.2.0 (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA USA). We used the Illumina Whole Genome DASL assay for gene profile generation from FFPE samples, as described previously7 (link), 35 (link), 36 (link) (details are provided in

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
