Model-Based Classification for Digital PCR: Your Umbrella for Rain.

reduces accuracy, the uncertainty of this classification is typically ignored. We introduce a model-based clustering method to estimate the probability that the target is present (absent) in a partition ...

Discrimination of three genetically close Aspergillus species by using high resolution melting analysis applied to indoor air as case study.

therefore important. To avoid problems linked to culture-dependent protocols, molecular methods are increasingly being proposed as an alternative. Among these molecular methods, the polymerase chain reaction ...
