Enhanced analysis of real-time PCR data by using a variable efficiency model : FPK-PCR [PDF]
Current methodology in real-time Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis performs well provided PCR efficiency remains constant over reactions. Yet, small changes in efficiency can lead to large quantification errors. Particularly in biological samples,

In recent years, real-time PCR has come forward as a robust and widely used molecular technique in clinical and biologicalsettings. Although it can detect very minute quantities of target nucleic acid, but quantification of specific nucleic acids is not an easy task.Accurate and precise quantification is hampered by a number of factors that may include

Real-time PCR based on SYBR-Green I fluorescence: An alternative to the TaqMan assay for a relative quantification of gene rearrangements, gene amplifications and micro gene deletions [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Real-time PCR is increasingly being adopted for RNA quantification and genetic analysis. At present the most popular real-time PCR assay is based on the hybridisation of a dual-labelled probe to the PCR product, and the development of a ...
