Abstract
Assembly of the barley genome and extensive use of RNA-seq has resulted in an abundance of gene expression data and the recognition of wide-scale production of alternatively spliced transcripts. Here, we describe in detail a high-resolution reverse transcription-PCR based panel (HR RT-PCR) that confirms the accuracy of alternatively spliced transcripts from RNA-seq and allows quantification of changes in the proportion of splice isoforms between different experimental conditions, time points, tissues, genotypes, ecotypes, and treatments. By validating a selection of barley genes, use of the panel gives confidence or otherwise to the genome-wide global changes in alternatively spliced transcripts reported by RNA-seq. This simple assay can readily be applied to perform detailed transcript isoform analysis for any gene in any species.
