Best spikers determined by successful spikes in percentage. Best blockers determined by
RNA spike-in expression assay microarrays or RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), RNA spike-ins are used. RNA spike-ins can be synthesized by any means of creating RNA synthetically, or by using cells to transcribe DNA to RNA "in vivo" (in cells). RNA can be produced "in vitro" (cell free) using RNA polymerase and DNA with the desired sequence. Large scale biotech manufacturers produce RNA synthetically via high-throughput techniques and provide solutions of RNA spike-ins at predetermined concentration. Bacteria containing DNA (usually on plasmids) for transcription to spike-ins are also commercially available. The purified RNA can be stored long-term in a buffered solution at low temperature.
