Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE) is a method for genome-wide quantitative mapping of mRNA 5’ends to capture RNA polymerase II transcription start sites at a single-nucleotide resolution. This work describes a low-input (SLIC-CAGE) protocol for generation of high-quality libraries using nanogram-amounts of total RNA.
