cDNA Macroarrays ?

[Moez TORKI]

Dear all,

I am planning to study the expression of genes from tomato by macroarrays
technology. I would like to counsel with you about :

(1) what cDNA construction kit would most suitable for that purpose ?
(Stratagene, Gibco, Clonetech...) ?

(2) What would be the method of choice for library normalization ? (any
published refernce would be fine)

(3) What would be the membrane of choice for spotting the templates >

(4) Is it needed to cnvert the library into plasmid library for the
screening or would it be enough to perform PCR reactions from individual
phage clones ?

Thanks for taking the time to sharing your experience. I will summarize all
relevant replies.
Best Regards,

Moez TORKI
