qPCR
is
today the preferred method for quantitative nucleic acid analysis, and
is being
extensively used in routine as well as research. Proper usage of qPCR
requires
careful planning of the experiment including optimized design, followed
by
elimination of systematic noise by proper handling of controls and
references,
and mining of the data. This complex flow is made easy with GenEx 5.3.
With
GenEx a small pilot study is easily planned that will identify the
sources of
confounding variation to the data, aiding the design of the main
experiment and
estimating the number of subjects needed to secure sufficient
statistical
power. The measured data including relevant experimental settings and
sample/assay information are then imported directly into GenEx from
Roche,
Agilent, Eppendorf, Bio-Rad, Life Technologies, Illumina and Fluidigm
qPCR
instruments eliminating the risk of introducing error by manually
entering
experimental parameters, where noise is reduced by proper normalization
with
standards and references, and prepared for statistical analysis. Then,
with few
clicks with the mouse on user friendly and clear panels, groups are
compared
using statistical tests, or patterns revealed based on powerful
classification
tools. All results are presented in clear and intuitive high resolved
graphs
ready for publication.
