    Anyone know of a good way to examine EDS files from a Thermofisher RT-PCR machine that doesn't require installing the software suite?

    I can probably get the install file. But I fundamentally oppose data locked into a proprietary format for long-term archiving.

  3. Our paper "MIQE 2.0: Revision of the Minimum Information for Publication of Quantitative Real-Time PCR Experiments Guidelines" is now published in Clinical Chemistry! 📚🔬

    This update addresses recent advances in qPCR technology, providing clear recommendations on sample handling, assay design, and data analysis. We emphasize transparency and reproducibility to enhance the reliability of qPCR research.

    We are working on a paper where we show that 29 % of papers in top journals like Science, Nature & PNAS were skewed by a single influential data point! Time to rethink our reliance on p-values and explore alternative measures like #dfstat. #reproducibilitycrisis #linearregression #rstats

    Moreover, we will work on #qPCR related software like PCRedux (joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21105)

  9. Most problems have been fixed in the package. There are still issues with the package and is causing trouble on older platforms (especially ) 🤔. We're still figuring out how to solve the rgl problem, unfortunately it depends on the package which calculates some of our key parameters 💡.
    More work ahead of us.

  10. #US #FDA, Updates on Highly Pathogenic Avian #Influenza #H5N1 (HPAI), as of April 23 2024, fda.gov/food/alerts-advisories

    Based on available information, #pasteurization is likely to inactivate the virus, however the process is not expected to remove the presence of viral #particles. Therefore, some of the samples collected have indicated the presence of HPAI using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (#qPCR) testing.

  11. So, I'm thinking about good R packages to do analyses of #qPCR data. Ones that have caught my eye are tidyqpcr, pcr, qPCRtools. Something that gives some really nice and versatile plots or something that could pipe right into #ggplot is really desired. Anyone have any recommendations? #Rstats

  12. Environmental DNA lets us detect species, but DNA moves & persists in the environment, so a DNA detection may not represent a local, living individual. Our #NewPaper (led by Léonie Suter) uses different DNA fragment lengths to distinguish recently-shed from older krill eDNA

  13. Some colleagues and I have been working for a long time on a review of R packages for the analysis of experiments, experiments and melting curves. What we can find is that there are a lot of packages and we will probably overlook some. I did my last search with rdrr.io/ and discovered a lot more.

  14. In 2011, Schwanhäusser, et al. (Nature, 473(7347) measured & levels for 5000 genes in cells and informed us 👇

    "Protein & mRNA levels correlates 0.41"

    Yet, demands:

    1. validated by
    2. based

  15. Recently I used r-pkg.org/ (
    : Search and browse all /#R packages). This was a good thing to do, since I discovered R packages related to that I haven't heard of before. Since several authors and I are writing a review about , qPCR and this is good not to forget anybody.
