Real-Time PCR Data Sets by Sisti et al.
sisti
{sisti} provides real-time PCR data sets by Sisti et al. (2010) in tidy format as one single table (also named) sisti.
The primary dataset comprises a ten-fold dilution series spanning copy numbers from $3.14 \times 10^7$ to $3.14 \times 10^2$, with twelve replicates per concentration. These samples are based on a pGEM-T Promega plasmid containing a 104 bp fragment of the mitochondrial gene NADH dehydrogenase 1 (MT-ND1), amplified using the ND1/ND2 primer pair. The remaining three datasets contain qPCR results in the presence of specific PCR inhibitors: tannic acid, immunoglobulin G (IgG), and quercetin, respectively, to assess their effects on the amplification process.
Each original data set can be obtained by filtering sisti by plate (see below).

Data
Each sample group is defined by the inhibitor (“none”, “tannic acid”, “IgG” or “quercitin”), respective inhibitor concentration, and initial amplicon copy number.

Standard dilution series
Most concentrated set of samples in the dilution series have $3.14 \times 10^7$ copies of the NADH dehydrogenase 1 (MT-ND1) amplicon. Following samples in the series are ten-fold dilutions.
