Real Time RT-PCR02:57

Real Time RT-PCR

Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, or Real-time RT-PCR, is an analytical tool used to determine the expression level of target genes. The method involves converting mRNA to complementary DNA with the help of an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase, followed by the PCR amplification of the cDNA. These two processes can be performed simultaneously in a single tube or separately as a two-step reaction.
The real-time quantification of the number of amplified products is...

  • To overcome the limitations of background fluorescence subtraction in existing qPCR analysis techniques.

Main Methods:

  • A novel 'taking-difference linear regression' method is proposed.
  • This method transforms raw qPCR data by subtracting fluorescence between consecutive cycles.
  • Linear regression is then applied to the logarithm of the transformed data to determine PCR efficiencies and initial DNA quantities.

Main Results:

  • The taking-difference method eliminates the need for background fluorescence subtraction, thereby avoiding associated errors.
  • This approach offers a more accurate and reliable quantification of PCR amplification efficiencies and initial DNA molecular numbers.
