Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) is a widely used method in molecular biology to quantify target DNA sequences. Despite its accuracy, there are important experimental controls that should be considered to avoid biased results. One of them is gDNA loss during extraction, which is higher among samples with lower bacterial concentrations. Improvement in qPCR quantification procedures is mandatory to o...
