6 29 2015 CRAF qPCR

Yesterday I decided to check out CRAF which was another gene with good coverage in sequencing and interest results from the initial qPCR check.

Results:

All Samples

NTCs

It looks like there was some contamination in the first NTC well but it wasn't present in the other three wells. THe result here are definitely interesting as there appears to be a pretty big difference between samples. More analysis is needed to tease out this info. 

You can see the raw data here.
