Quantitative real-time RT-PCR – a perspective [PDF]
The real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) uses fluorescent reporter molecules to monitor the production of amplification products during each cycle of the PCR reaction. This combines the nucleic acid amplification and detection steps into one homogeneous assay and obviates the need for gel electrophoresis to detect ...

A quantitative real-time PCR method for absolute telomere length
Telomere shortening is an important risk factor for cancer and accelerated aging. Here we describe the development of a simple and reproducible method to measure absolute telomere length. Based on Cawthon's quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assay, our

Exogenous Reference RNA for Normalization of Real-Time Quantitative PCR
We have utilized an in vitro transcribed 3′ mRNA fragment of the plant gene ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBisCO) as an exogenous standard for normalization of quantitative PCR data. Both K562 cells and primary erythroid CD34+ progenitor cells were

Improving statistical inference on pathogen densities estimated by quantitative molecular methods: malaria gametocytaemia as a case study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Quantitative molecular methods (QMMs) such as quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR), reverse-transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR) and quantitative nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (QT-NASBA) are increasingly used to ...

Quantitative detection of soybean in meat products by a TaqMan real-time PCR assay [PDF]
In the present work, we propose a normalised real-time quantitative PCR assay to determine the addition of soybean to meat products. The method proved to be a powerful tool for the quantification of soybean protein (dry basis) in the range of 0.01% to 6%,
