  1. This table presents the details of the samples used for spotted oligonucleotide study, including LMD area with corresponding RNA concentration of the samples. Quality of the RNA was ascertained by nanodrop spectrophotometry. All the samples were efficiently processed as demonstrated by optimal range of FOI between 30 to 60 pmols/μl.
