Ihave a question about qPCR.
How to measure an mRNA level of a gene by qPCR. If I perform arealtive quantification qPCR, first I need to convert mRNA into DNAtemplate by Reverse transcriptase. then I perform a qPCR reaction.For example, comparing with the reference gene, the drug treatmentlead to a decrease in the expression of gene of interest. However,I think that can only determine the gene replication is inhibitedbecause the pcr reaction is DNA replication , not DNAtranscription. So, how can I know the difference in amount of mRNAin a cell?
