Abstract

Background

method is applied to data with automatic removal of background fluorescence by the qPCR software. Since the background fluorescence is unknown, subtracting an inaccurate background can lead to distortion of the results. To address these problems, we present an improved method, the individual efficiency corrected calculation.

Results

method.

Conclusions

method and is thus a better way to calculate relative gene expression.
