Fig. 1. Principles of serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) analysis. (From ref. 30.)<br />

<strong>and</strong> concatenated. The concatemers are subcloned into an appropriate vector,<br />

<strong>and</strong> the colonies resulting thereof are sequenced. The sequence data from a<br />

given SAGE library can be analyzed using a variety of online publicly as well<br />

as commercially available resources (see Subheading 3.2.14.), <strong>and</strong> any two<br />

or more such libraries (e.g., pancreatic cancer <strong>and</strong> normal pancreas) can be<br />

compared for differential gene expression. Since its original description,<br />

numerous modifications have been made to the SAGE protocol (31,32),<br />

including a “microSAGE” (33) (separately described as SAGE-lite [34]) technique<br />

that permits generation of libraries from minute quantities of starting<br />

template (nanograms of mRNA), such as from microdissected material.
