qpcr: Gene expression from real-time quantitative PCR

qpcrR Documentation

Gene expression from real-time quantitative PCR

Description

Gene expression levels from real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) experiments on two different plant lines. Each line was used for 7 experiments each with 45 cycles.

Format

A data frame with 630 observations on the following 4 variables.

flour numeric Fluorescence level
line factor Plant lines rnt (mutant) and wt (wildtype)
cycle numeric Cycle number for the experiment
transcript factor Transcript used for the different runs

Examples


data(qpcr)

#
# Analyze a single run for the wt line, transcript 1
#
run1 <- subset(qpcr, transcript==1 & line=="wt")

model <- nls(flour ~ fmax/(1+exp(-(cycle-c)/b))+fb,
             start=list(c=25, b=1, fmax=100, fb=0), data=run1)

print(model)

plot(run1$cycle, run1$flour, xlab="Cycle", ylab="Fluorescence")
lines(run1$cycle, predict(model))
