Auto-qPCR; a python-based web app for automated and reproducible analysis of qPCR data [PDF]
AbstractQuantifying changes in DNA and RNA levels is essential in numerous molecular biology protocols. Quantitative real time PCR (qPCR) techniques have evolved to become commonplace, however, data analysis includes many time-consuming and cumbersome steps, which can lead to mistakes and misinterpretation of data. To address these bottlenecks, we have

Inducible versus constitutive social immunity: examining effects of colony infection on glucose oxidase and defensin-1 production in honeybees [PDF]
Honeybees use a variety of defence mechanisms to reduce disease infection and spread throughout the colony. Many of these defences rely on the collective action of multiple individuals to prevent, reduce or eradicate pathogens—often referred to as ...

Liver Molecular-biochemical Markers in Viral Hepatitis B patients
The prevalence of liver disease has led to its emergence as a major challenge. This challenge is also attributed to factors such as the challenging diagnosis, complexity of pathogenesis, and the absence of established therapies.

A beginner’s guide to RT-PCR, qPCR and RT-qPCR [PDF]
The development of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for which Kary Mullis received the 1992 Novel Prize in Chemistry, revolutionized molecular biology. At around the time that prize was awarded, research was being carried out by Russel Higuchi which led to the discovery that PCR can be monitored using fluorescent probes, facilitating quantitative ...

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related genes in coronary artery disease
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is critical in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, landscapes of EMT-related genes have not been fully established in CAD.

Validation of kinetics similarity in qPCR [PDF]
Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is the method of choice for specific and sensitive quantification of nucleic acids. However, data validation is still a major issue, partially due to the complex effect of PCR inhibition on the results. If undetected PCR inhibition may severely impair the accuracy and sensitivity of results. PCR inhibition is addressed

qPCR as a Selective Tool for Cytogenetics
qPCR is widely used in quantitative studies of plant genomes and transcriptomes. In this article, this method is considered as an auxiliary step in the preparation and selection of markers for FISH analysis. Several cases from the authors’ research on populations of the same species were reviewed, and a comparison of the closely related species, as ...
