Assessing and reducing sources of gene expression variability in Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms
Gene expression quantification can be a useful tool in studying the properties of bacterial biofilms. Unfortunately, techniques such as RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, and quantitative PCR (qPCR) can introduce variability into mRNA transcript measurements, obscuring biologically relevant results. He...
