Exploring the advantages of amplifying the entire extract versus splitting the extract and interpreting replicates using a continuous model of interpretation

Previous studies examining whether splitting the DNA extract for replicate amplification versus maximizing the template available for a ‘one-shot’ amplification either examined the benefits of usin...
