Development and Experimental Validation of a Predictive Threshold Cycle Equation for Quantification of Virulence and Marker Genes by High-Throughput Nanoliter-Volume PCR on the OpenArray Platform

Abstract excerpt

Development of quantitative PCR (QPCR) assays typically requires extensive screening within and across a given species to ensure specific detection and lucid identification among various pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains and to generate standard curves. To minimize screening requirements, multiple virulence and marker genes (VMGs) were targeted simultaneously to enhance reliability, and a predictive threshold...
