Quantifying mitochondrial DNA copy number using robust regression to interpret real time PCR results

Abstract Background Real time PCR (rtPCR) is a quantitative assay to determine the relative DNA copy number in a sample versus a reference. The $$\Delta C_T$$ Δ C T method is the standard for the analysis of the output data generated by an rtPCR experiment. We developed an alternative based on fitti...
