How big is the noise when measuring telomere length?

13 August 2019 0 10K Report

By evaluating the relative length of human leukocyte telomeres, we obtained results with wide variation. We did PCR-REAL-TIME. Is this normal variability? How big is the noise in this technique for measuring telomere length?
