  1. Con: concentration; CT: (cycle threshold) is defined as the number of cycles required for the fluorescent signal to cross the threshold; PCNH: Predicted copy no. in haploid genome; SC: standard curve; The R2 value is the coefficient that is used to assess the fit of the standard curve to the data points plotted. The R2 value was > 0.99 which is the required value for reliable quantitation. The efficiency of the PCR reaction (E) is calculated using the formula E = (10(-1/slope)- 1), where the slope is calculated from a standard curve plot of Ct values against the logarithm of template amount. A value close to 1 indicates high PCR efficiency. PCNH was calculated using the equation: PCNH = Genome size (pg)/Genomic DNA Con (μg/μl) × 10Y/10 21.72× 6.5× 107.
