due to ever-increasing global diffusion and related socio-economic implications, the detectionof genetically modified organisms (gmos) is very important. in this study, we design a plasmidcontaining two genes in mutated form as construct-specific (cp4 epsps) and event-specific(pd35s). it is applied for quantitative-competitor (qc) pcr as a simple and reliable method forthe detection of gm food....

Clinical microbiology laboratories rely on quantitative PCR for its speed, sensitivity, specificity and ease-of-use. However, quantitative PCR quantitation requires the use of a standard curve or normalisation to reference genes. Droplet digital PCR provides absolute quantitation without the need for calibration curves. A comparison between droplet digital PCR and quantitative PCR-based analyse...
