Module 1: Fundamentals of real-time PCR
Access an overview of real-time PCR instrument choices and learn how real-time PCR differs from endpoint PCR. How can you use real-time PCR in your research? What is the difference between TaqMan® chemistry and SYBR® Green chemistry?
Module 2: Assay design choices
What should you consider when planning your gene expression assays? What is the impact of multitranscript assays and assay specificity? How do you design custom assays?
Module 3: Normalization
What is normalization and why is it important? What are the types of normalizers and what are their functions? How does multigene normalization work?
Module 5: Reagent choices
Discussion topics include setting up your real-time PCR reaction, and preparing master mixes and reagents for plate additions.
Module 6: Theory of analysis
Perform dynamic range testing with standard curves, quantify your data using the ΔΔCt method, and gain a better understanding of absolute vs. relative quantification.
