Day 1 - This introductory course consists of a theoretical part and a practical part where participants get to do qPCR experiments by themselves under experienced supervision. The course contains: Basic PCR theory. The theory of real-time PCR. Applications and possibilities of qPCR. Comparison of qPCR with regular PCR. Review of currently available detection technologies (SYBR Green I, hydrolysis probes, Molecular Beacons...etc). Different instrument platforms and their typical uses. Primer design. The problem of primer-dimer formation and how to minimize them. Probe design. Experimental design and optimization. Basic data handling and analysis. Day 2 - Introduction to quantification principles. Quantification strategies, uses and limitations. Calculations using different relative quantification methods. Strategies for normalization of qPCR data. In situ calibration for compensation of inhibition in samples. Absolute quantification.
