being sensitive to qPCR
This article was originally published at www.bitesizebio.com on 14/10/2009 here
One of the great features of PCR is its excellent sensitivity as we know. And many articles describe real-time qPCR as an added leap forward in that sensitivity – to the point where it has become a standard feature of a new assay description
welcome to dnature
Welcome to the dnature blog. I'm planning to write regular tech stuff along with mention of articles and notes that catch my mind. Of course that's a little bit dangerous, as many may know I have a 'flytrap' mind and all sorts of PCR / DNA things tend to stick - some of them useful. . .and some of them. . . well, interesting.
So why the name dnature for the new company? "dna in a range of nature" sums it up. My interest in PCR isn't limited to one application. Over the years (I should count them) I've collected probably well over a thousand papers (I should count them too!) on the use of PCR, real-time qPCR and general molecular techniques for many different applications. So probably no surprise that I now work on a range of things including plant viruses, water quality bacteria, wine yeasts, truffles and human SNPs. You can see more of the stuff I do here.
I hope you find the blog useful - and interesting. Really, you'd be happy with just one of these? Feel free to leave a comment about any of the posts and welcome to dnature
