RT-qPCR (Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR) has a wide range of applications including:

  • Relative and absolute quantification of gene expression
  • Detection of pathogens such as viruses for the diagnosis of infectious diseases
  • Validation of DNA microarray results
  • miRNA (microRNA) and noncoding RNA analysis
  • Mutation detection
  • Validation of RNAi to study loss of function of selective genes
  • Variation analysis including SNP discovery and validation
  • Detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
  • Counting viral, bacteria, or fungal loads
