The two most commonly used methods to analyze data from real-time, quantitative PCR experiments are absolute quantification and relative quantification. Absolute quantification determines the input copy number, usually by relating the PCR signal to a standard curve. Relative quantification relates the PCR signal of the target transcript in a treatment group to that of another sample such as an untreated control. The 2−ΔΔCT method is a convenient way to analyze the relative changes in gene expression from real-time quantitative PCR experiments. The purpose of this report is to present the derivation, assumptions, and applications of the 2−ΔΔCT method. In addition, we present the derivation and applications of two variations of the 2−ΔΔCT method that may be useful in the analysis of real-time, quantitative PCR data.

- 39. First, you need to select primers for PCR • No, you do not need a computer program to select primers. • I prefer 24 bp long and end on G or C • Others prefer 20 bp long and end on A or T • Try to have at least 50% G’s +C’s to ensure reasonable annealing temperature That’s about it. Do not waste too much time selecting primers.

New Thermocyclers = Peltier Cooling & Gradient Blocks Peltier effect It occurs when a current is passed through two dissimilar metals or semiconductors (n-type and p- type) that are connected to each other at two junctions (Peltier junctions). The current drives a transfer of heat from one junction to the other: one junction cools off while the other heats up; as a result, the effect is often used for thermoelectric cooling. This effect was observed in 1834 by Jean Peltier.

- 61. RT-PCR measures the presence of cDNA corresponding to its respective RNA. RT-PCR is, therefore, used to indirectly estimate RNA abundance which MAY indicate the level of gene expression.
- 62. Major Points • Sequencing and PCR both use DNA polymerase and replicate DNA (PCR uses TAQ DNA polymerase). • Kary Mullis discovered PCR while thinking about a possible dideoxy sequencing experiment. • Half of a Nobel discovery is finding it, the other half is realizing what you have found. • RT-PCR is used to estimate gene expression
