Comparison of droplet digital PCR and quantitative real-time PCR in mcrA-based methanogen community analysis

Two different quantitative PCR platforms, droplet digital PCR (dd-PCR) and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), were compared in a mcrA-based methanogen community assay that quantifies ten methanogen sub-groups. Both technologies exhibited similar PCR efficiencies over at least four orders of magnitud...
