Overview
abstract
A noninvasive method utilizing feces, containing sloughed colonocytes, as a sensitive technique for detecting diagnostic colonic biomarkers as well as a method for isolating poly A +RNA from feces. The method allows the isolation and quantitation of specific eukarotic mRNAs as candidate biomarkers for colon cancer isolated from feces.
