CRAN status R-CMD-check

{lievens} provides Real-Time PCR Data Sets by Lievens et al. (2012).

Installation

install.packages("lievens")

Data

Each sample group is defined by the inhibitor (“none”, “isopropanol”, “tannic acid”), respective inhibitor concentration, and initial amplicon copy number. Note that inhibitor concentration and initial copy number of the amplicon are not independent of each other as concentrations are obtained by co-dilution.

Standard dilution series

Most concentrated set of replicates in the dilution series have 100,000 copies of the soybean Lectin endogene (Le1) derived amplicon. Following samples in the series are five-fold dilutions.
