I have been using genomic dna for the generation of standard curve of qpcr and I am getting very poor pcr amplification efficiency.
Hi Jeny,
it depends what kind of qPCR you are doing? Sybr or TaqMan? Which primers are you using?
Erika
How much genomic DNA are you inputting per reaction? Amplification becomes inhibited dramatically the more gDNA you add. I try to avoid going above 10ng in a 10uL reaction volume.
Yes you can use.
I have done same and got the efficiency around 100%.
Monascus purpureus produces the monaklin pigment ? How can we scale up the production industrially?
