qpcr (v3.1.5)

New Features in this Version

Assays and Efficiency

Efficiency is now directly handled by the qpcr.Assay objects (qpcr.Analyser can still receive .efficiency() as before, but this will be dropped at some point...)

New qpcr.Calibrator class

The new qpcr.Calibrator allows calculation of qPCR primer efficiencies based
a dilution series. It is able to work either with an entire assay as input or with
just a subset of specially labeled replicates and can compute, store, save, and load and later assign pre-computed efficiencies from and to qpcr.Assay objects.

New EfficiencyLines Plotter

Accompanying the Calibrator is a new plotter that can visualise the linear regression performed during efficiency computation, similar to how the FilterSummary plotter can summarise the workings of the qpcr.Filters.

New Plotting shortcuts

A Plotters.PreviewResults can now directly be called from qpcr.Results without having to import and setting up manually. The new qpcr.Results.preview() method calls on PreviewResults object to plot the stored data and returns the produced figure.

The same goes for a Plotters.ReplicateBoxplot which can be called from a qpcr.Assay directly via qpcr.Assay.boxplot().

Also, the qpcr.Calibrator is equipped with a qpcr.Calibrator.plot() method to
call Plotters.EfficiencyLines.
