qPCR: Real-time PCR and quantitative PCR (qPCR) Real-Time PCR refers to the fact that measurements are made during the amplification as opposed to at the end of PCR. qPCR introduces the idea that the data provides quantification of the target.
Gene expression studies give a snapshot of the different types of RNAs being expressed at a given time point in cells or tissues in vivo. Different RNA types have different roles, for example...
