Generating multiple standard curves from a single template?

01 January 1970 1 7K Report

Has anyone ever tried creating qPCR standard curve samples (plasmid or DNA standard) by inserting multiple target sequences into a single template and then conducting experiments?

Katie A S Burnette

Sure have! It works great - cloned several sequences for my genes of interest into one plasmid.
