Determining the optimum primer concentrations. (A) Distribution of the relative Cq differences (the difference between the primer combination showing the highest Cq value and the primer combination showing the lowest Cq value for each assay) obtained for each of the 60 RT-qPCR assays. (B) Distribution of the optimal primer concentration combinations for each of the 60 assays. The primer concentration combinations are given in nmol/L for the forward and the reverse primers respectively.
