  1. The nuclear DNA concentration is taken as reference, and is therefore 1. The relative error (confidence ratio) is also 1 as there is no uncertainty associated with it. The other concentrations are relative to nuclear DNA and the relative error associated with it. The values for the efficiency are the average taken over the replicas
