摘要: Quantitative real-time PCR has become a popular method to analyze and quantify changes in the copy number of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), nuclear (nDNA) is often used as an endogenous reference for mtDNA abundance. In our experience, using nDNA problematic, due differences extraction efficiency variation ploidy experimental samples. Here, we report that ratio varies repeated extractions but ΦX174 DNA, added before extraction, extracted with similar mtDNA, making it suitable alternative quantifying number.
