Abstract
Quantification of template DNA is an essential step in the analysis of samples using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Once aPCR reaction has been optimized, the amplification of too little genomic DNA may yield only partial results, and the addition of too much template may increase the tendency for amplification of artifact products.
