Genetical and statistical aspects of polymerase chain reactions

چکیده
In this paper we describe the principles of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and its expanding use in molecular genetic research and molecular medicine. A short introduction of exemplary applications of the PCR is connected with a discussion of the lack of PCR accuracy. We give a statistical model for the PCR and discuss estimation methods in order to quantify the lack of PCR accuracy.

متن کاملSimulation of between Repeat Variability in Real Time PCR Reactions
While many decisions rely on real time quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis few attempts have hitherto been made to quantify bounds of precision accounting for the various sources of variation involved in the measurement process. Besides influences of more obvious factors such as camera noise and pipetting variation, changing efficiencies within and between reactions affect PCR results to a degree ...
