**Semantic type:** Molecular Biology Research Technique

**Definition:** Quantitative PCR: a method to measure very small amounts of RNA transcripts as cDNA targets. There are two strategies currently used, one is called Competitive RTPCR and the other is called Real-Time PCR.

**Synonyms:** - QUANTITATIVE REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION - Quantitative RTPCR - Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase PCR - qRT-PCR - qRTPCR - rRT-PCR
