qPCR Application
Workshop
http://qPCR2004.gene-quantification.info/qpcr2004-workshop.html
Workshop agenda and organization
The 80 participants will be divided into two groups of 40
persons in each. One group will have seminars covering
practical aspects of qPCR and upstream processes, before lunch and
hands-on experiments and data-analyses after lunch.
The other group will have hands-on before lunch and seminars
after.
Seminars:
Part 1: Introduction
Part 2: Quantification
Strategies
Covering Absolute, Relative and Comparative Quantification.
How standard curves are established and the effects of efficiency
estimations for quantification results.
Several examples are presented that demonstrate the effects
of erroneous efficiency estimations.
Part 3: Nucleic
acids extraction
The most common extraction methods of nucleic acids and their pros
and cons.
Quality control of nucleic acids for qPCR.
Part 4: Reverse
Transcription
The available methods and strategies for reverse transcription
as well as practical considerations when performing RT.
Hands-on:
Each group of 40 persons is divided so that a small group
of approximately 4 persons is stationed at each instrument.
This group sets up, programs and starts an experiment on
that machine.
The groups will the rotate and get to see experimental data
on the next station/instrument and see how software, setup and analysis
works on that instrument. Also another type of experiment is performed
on each instrument.
The groups rotate until they have seen all experiment/instrument
types.
One
instructor will be available for each station as well as company representatives
to help assist the programming of the software and answer any questions.
The instruments and experiments:
LightCycler - SNP detection using FRET probes
iCycler - Duplex reaction using Molecular Beacons
myCycler - SYBR Supermix- insitu calibration
Stratagene - BEBO and BOXTO, new dyes for qPCR
Opticon 2 - SYBR Green siRNA knockdown
SmartCycler - SYBR Green
ABI Prism 7900 - TaqMan Assay
Rotorgene
3000 - QZyme (BD Biosciences)
For setup of the experiments the participants
will have approximately 1 hour and then approximately ½ hour
on each platform.
