{guescini}
is an R data package that provides real-time
PCR raw fluorescence data by Guescini et al. (2008) in tidy format.

Guescini et al. (2008) explored the effect of amplification inhibition on qPCR quantification. Two systems were devised to alter the amplification efficiency:
The raw fluorescence data associated with the decreasing of the
amplification mix is provided as the data set amp_mix_perc
;
the data obtained with increasing concentrations of IgG is provided as
IgG_inhibition
.
The data set amp_mix_perc
corresponds to a set of
amplification runs where the MT-ND1 gene is amplified in reactions
having the same initial amount of DNA but different amounts of SYBR
Green I Master mix. A standard curve was performed over a wide range of
input DNA (\(3.14 \times 10^7\ \text{thru}\
3.14 \times 10^1\)) in the presence of optimal amplification
conditions (100% amplification mix), while the unknowns were run in the
presence of the same starting DNA amounts but with amplification mix
quantities ranging from 60% to 100%.

The data set IgG_inhibition
provides those runs
performed in the presence of an optimal amplification reaction mix added
with serial dilutions of IgG (0.0 - 2 ug/ml) thus acting as the
inhibitory agent.
