Replicates

Does anyone know how robust this kit is? For example, can you answer these questions: How many replicates of the same sample are good to test? I've gotten false positives AND false negatives from the same sample, how to avoid false responses? Akron Biotech makes a solution ...

... said about telomeres. Telomeres are repeating (and I'm pretty sure, noncoding) sequences of DNA at the tips of chromosomes. As the cell repeatedly replicates itself, bits of the ends of the chromosome don't copy, so the telomere part is giving the chromosomes leeway. Eventually, the telomere shortenings ...

I would add a caveat, though, that if you don't already consume ...

OK thanks. I had it a bit muddled I think. DNA replication does exactly what it says on the tin, it replicates the entire DNA genome, which is copied into daughter cells during mitosis and cell division, RNA (or mRNA) copies shorter sequences of DNA into it's mRNA equivalent, ...
