The qPCR data set named s1 comprises a six-point, ten-fold dilution series, replicated in duplicates targeting an amplicon designed with a random sequence that minimizes secondary structure and off-target primer binding. Please read the Quantitative PCR data section, qPCR assays subsection of Boggy et al. (2010) for more details.
Format
A tibble with 480 rows and 10 variables:
plate
Plate identifier. For this data set it is always missing (
NA
).well
Well identifier.
dye
The type of dye used. In this data set the values are always
"SYTO 13"
, meaning 2 mM of the dsDNA dye SYTO-13 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA).target
Target identifier: the amplicon used, a random sequence dubbed
"S1"
by the original authors.sample_type
Sample type (all curves are standards, i.e.
"std"
).replicate
Replicate identifier: either 1 or 2.
copies
Standard copy number.
dilution
Dilution factor. Higher number means greater dilution.
cycle
PCR cycle.
fluor
Raw fluorescence values.
