18. Differential Display and
VNTRs
This chapter describes the tools in Quantity One for studying sequence
expression in PCR gels and counting VNTRs or other repeated elements in
1-D gels.
These analysis functions are located on the Analysis menu.

18.1 Differential Display
Differential Display is a technique using mRNA and PCR amplification to
study gene expression.
Note: You must match the bands in your gel image before using this function.
See Chapter 15 for more information.
Differential display gels are analyzed like other gels, with one important
distinction. Each gel image must be normalized for quantity to a specific band
type that is present in all of your lanes.
