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.
