A panel of validated minigene-based splicing assays

A panel of validated minigene-based splicing assays for 11 BC-HR genes. We will synthesize minigenes covering all exons for the selected BC-HR genes. Constructs will be transfected into human epithelial (breast cancer) cell lines. RNA will be extracted and minigene transcripts will be amplified using plasmid-specific primers and analysed by CEP and Sanger sequencing.
