Abstract

In the last 15 years, the quantification of the reverse transcriptase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) has become the most widely used method for the quantification of gene expression (Baker M, Nature Methods, 2011, 8(3): 207-212). Some of its characteristics have contributed to the widespread use of this methodology: i) it is a one-step assay, without the need for post-PCR processing; ii) it allows a simple comparison between transcripts with a wide range of expression (differences 107 times); and iii) it uses the quantitative potential implicit in a conventional PCR, making it both a quantitative and qualitative assay.
