Random variation and concentration effects in PCR.

Abstract excerpt

Even though the efficiency of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reaction decreases, analyses are made in terms of Galton-Watson processes, or simple deterministic models with constant replication probability (efficiency). Recently, Schnell and Mendoza have suggested that the form of the efficiency, can be derived from enzyme kinetics. This results in the sequence of molecules numbers forming a stochastic...
