A New Method for Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Data Analysis

Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is a sensitive gene quantification method that has been extensively used in biological and biomedical fields. The currently used methods for PCR data analysis, including the threshold cycle method and linear and nonlinear model-fitting methods, all require subtracting background fluorescence. However, the removal of background fluorescence...

New Developments in Quantitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction Technology.

Real time-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) technology has revolutionized the detection landscape in every area of molecular biology. The fundamental basis of this technology has remained unchanged since its inception, however various modifications have enhanced the overall performance of this highly versatile technology. These improvements have ranged from changes in the individual components of the ...

TaqMan-based, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction method for RNA editing analysis.

Abnormal adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) messenger RNA (mRNA) editing has been linked to several disease states afflicting the central nervous system. Here we report an assay to determine RNA editing frequencies at specific sites that is based on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) with TaqMan probes. The assay was tested by measuring the frequency of the A-to-I mRNA editing at the Q/R ...

Development of New Modified Simple Polymerase Chain Reaction and Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Identification of Iranian Brucella abortus Strains

Brucellosis is primarily a worldwide zoonotic disease caused by Brucella species. The genus Brucella contains highly infectious species that are classified as biological threat agents. In this regard, the identification of Brucella can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process posing a real risk of laboratory-acquired infection to the laboratory staff. This stud...
