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,

Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Detection of Fishmeal in Feedstuffs [PDF]
Abstract A SYBR<sup/> Green PCR system was developed for detection of fishmeal in feedstuffs. The real-time PCR method combines the use of fish-specific primers that amplify an 87 base pair (bp) fragment of the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA gene from fish species, and a positive control primer pair that amplifies a 99 bp ...

A kinetic model of quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction [PDF]
AbstractReal‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the most sensitive and accurate methods for quantifying transcript levels especially for those expressed at low abundance. The selective amplification of target DNA over multiple cycles allows its initial concentration to be determined.

Cost-Effective Trap qPCR Approach to Evaluate Telomerase Activity: an Important Tool for Aging, Cancer, and Chronic Disease Research [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Telomeres are a terminal “DNA cap” that prevent chromosomal fusion and degradation. However, aging is inherent to life, and so is the loss of terminal sequences.
