[edit] Merge/Link with qPCR?

A lot of duplication exists between qPCR and this page. Admittedly they are not exactly the same, but some links should be made between the two. Any comments? Dr Aaron 23:05, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


I am not an expert, but I think that the "Fluorescent reporter probe method" of qPCR is the same as RT-PCR using a probe with reporter and quencher. Oderbolz 08:12, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with Real-time PCR/Temp

Needs merging with Real-time PCR/Temp —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zephyris (talk • contribs).

Merging done. Elle vécut heureuse à jamais (Be eudaimonic!) 23:47, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reverse transcription pcr?

Much of the information on this page seems more related to reverse transcription pcr - I understand real time pcr has applications in fields such as ancient DNA and forensics? Aaadddaaammm 22:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

There seems to be a confusion of acronyms: RT-PCR is either "Real Time" PCR (Quantitative) or "Reverse Transcriptase" PCR (Qualitative PCR for RNA), I think we need to distinguish these concepts. Oderbolz 08:15, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
