Genomics courses

Real-time (quantitative) PCR course

September 2013 (TBC)

One day training workshop on QPCR and data analysis

Who should attend?

Any PCR users who have an interest in starting to use real-time PCR or current new users who want further training on Gene Expression Applications: Absolute and Relative Quantitation, Theory, Analysis and Optimisation.

Content:

  • Principles of and workflows using real-time PCR
  • Applications for quantitative and qualitative analysis
  • Absolute and relative quantification
  • Sample preparation: choice of the correct extraction/purification method
  • Assay design: from sequence to primer and probe
  • Software set-up and analysis
  • Experimental optimisation and validation

Goals:

At the end of the course you will be familiar with the theory and practice of real-time PCR and you will learn the most cost-effective way to set-up, run and analyse your gene expression experiments.
