HTqPCR: high-throughput analysis and visualization of quantitative real-time PCR data in R
نویسندگان
چکیده
MOTIVATION Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is routinely used for RNA expression profiling, validation of microarray hybridization data and clinical diagnostic assays. Although numerous statistical tools are available in the public domain for the analysis of microarray experiments, this is not the case for qPCR. Proprietary software is typically provided by instrument manufacturers, but these solutions are not amenable to the tandem analysis of multiple assays. This is problematic when an experiment involves more than a simple comparison between a control and treatment sample, or when many qPCR datasets are to be analyzed in a high-throughput facility. RESULTS We have developed HTqPCR, a package for the R statistical computing environment, to enable the processing and analysis of qPCR data across multiple conditions and replicates. AVAILABILITY HTqPCR and user documentation can be obtained through Bioconductor or at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/bertone/software. CONTACT [email protected]

BACKGROUND Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) is still the gold-standard technique for gene-expression quantification. Recent technological advances of this method allow for the high-throughput gene-expression analysis, without the limitations of sample space and reagent used. However, non-commercial and user-friendly software for the management and analysis of these data is not available. RES...

Background and purpose: Several factors are involved in caries prevention in children. One of the most effective factors is the appropriate use of fluoride. Fluoride induces its main effects in caries prevention through antibacterial effects and topical contact with enamel. In this study the inhibitory effects of sodium fluoride (NaF) and acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) gels on cariogenic m...
