Resumen

La interpretación de los datos cuantitativos de la PCR (qPCR) es un reto, especialmente a bajas concentraciones. Este estudio pone de relieve la necesidad de intervalos de confianza para distinguir la cuantificación confiable del ruido técnico en los ensayos de qPCR.

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...
