The Babel effect
There are several names for this technique. I chose Q-PCR because:
- it's short (compare: quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR = QRT-PCR or RT-RT-PCR)
- it indicates what this technique is about: quantification (would you know what the technique is for if you had never heard about it and just read the term "real time PCR"?)
Q-PCR with previous reverse transcription could be put separately but since Q-PCR is usually preceeded by RT, I thought it best to keep things together here. Jasu 13:47, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
Thanks
