Abstract

Many genomic segments vary in copy number among individuals of the same species, or between cancer and normal cells within the same person. Correctly measuring this copy number variation is critical for studying its genetic properties, its distribution in populations and its relationship to phenotypes. Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) enables accurate measurement of copy number by partitioning a PCR reaction into thousands of nanoliter-scale droplets, so that a genomic sequence of interest-whose presence or absence in a droplet is determined by end-point fluorescence-can be digitally counted. Here, we describe how we analyze copy number variants using ddPCR and review the design of effective assays, the performance of ddPCR with those assays, the optimization of reactions, and the interpretation of data.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 April 2022.
All research outputs
#2,791,460
of 23,047,237 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#532
of 13,196 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#65,010
of 442,433 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#34
of 1,499 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,047,237 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,196 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 442,433 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1,499 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
