Did you know... that after a 2002 study inaccurately claimed a measles and autism link due to improper qPCR data, scientists developed the MIQE guidelines to show the minimum level of reported data required for qPCR?

... that after a 2002 study inaccurately claimed a measles and autism link due to improper qPCR data, scientists developed the MIQE guidelines to show the minimum level of reported data required for qPCR? Source: "The actual trigger for the publication of the MIQE guidelines was provided by the after effects of a paper that used RT-qPCR to detect measles virus in children with autism. These results were never reproduced independently, nor repeated by the authors themselves." [Link]

New enough and long enough, QPQ present. AGF due to paywalled source (ScienceDirect). The hook may be a tad dry, but this is a timely article because of the topics (autism, reproducibility). About my only suggestion for future articles is sentence case section headings, but that's a very minor quibble. Raymie (t • c) 06:31, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
