Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About qPCR

What is qPCR?

qPCR, or quantitative polymerase chain reaction, is a technique used to measure the amount of DNA or RNA in a sample. It provides quantitative data by amplifying the target nucleic acid and monitoring the fluorescence signal in real-time.

How to normalize qPCR data?

Normalization of qPCR data is essential to account for variations in sample quantity and quality. Common methods include using reference genes (housekeeping genes) or employing normalization algorithms based on total RNA or genomic DNA content.

What is the difference between RT-PCR and PCR?

RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription PCR) is a variation of PCR that involves converting RNA into complementary DNA (cDNA) before amplification. PCR, on the other hand, amplifies DNA directly. RT-PCR is used to study gene expression levels, while PCR is employed for DNA amplification.

How does qPCR work?

qPCR works by using specific primers to amplify the target DNA or cDNA in cycles. The amplification is monitored in real-time using fluorescent probes or DNA-binding dyes. The increase in fluorescence is directly proportional to the amount of amplified target, allowing quantification.

Why is PCR a valuable technique?

PCR is a valuable technique because it allows the amplification of specific DNA sequences, even from minute amounts of starting material. It has revolutionized molecular biology, enabling applications such as gene cloning, sequencing, diagnostics, and gene expression analysis.

How to do qPCR?

Performing qPCR involves several steps: designing specific primers and probes, preparing the reaction mix, adding the template DNA or cDNA, running the PCR program, and analyzing the data using appropriate software. It requires precise laboratory techniques and well-optimized protocols.

Is RT-PCR the same as PCR?

RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription PCR) is a specific type of PCR that involves the conversion of RNA into complementary DNA (cDNA) before amplification. Regular PCR refers to the amplification of DNA directly. While similar in principle, they differ in the starting material and purpose.

How does qPCR measure gene expression?

To determine the quantity of the target DNA, a standard curve is employed. The standard curve is generated by running qPCR reactions with known concentrations of a reference DNA sample. The cycle threshold (Ct) values obtained from the amplification of the reference DNA at different concentrations are plotted against the logarithm of the DNA concentration. By comparing the Ct value of the unknown samples with the standard curve, the quantity of the target DNA in the unknown samples can be estimated accurately.

How does qPCR measure the quantity of the target DNA?

qPCR measures gene expression by amplifying the target RNA (converted to cDNA) using gene-specific primers. The amplified cDNA is then quantified in real-time, providing information about the initial RNA quantity. Higher gene expression leads to earlier amplification signals (a lower threshold cycle number Ct).
