A quantitative approach to detect and overcome PCR inhibition in ancient DNA extracts
BioTechniques, 2009 Inhibition is problematic in many applications of PCR, particularly those involving degraded or low amounts of template DNA, when simply diluting the extract is undesirable. Two basic approaches to monitoring inhibition in such samples using real-time or
