BackgroundHow to check the quality of your qPCR experiments orthe reliability of an international publication by an electro-nic device? From now on iOS based mobile devices, e.g.iPhone, iPad or iPod, will help you to increase the qualityof qPCR experiment or publication, by providing a ‘MIQE(The MIQE Guidelines - Minimum Information for publi-cation of Quantitative real-time PCR Experiments) qPCR’applet [1,2]. Three years ago we created the first interac-tive solution for scientific guidelines, based on the MIQEqPCR publication [3].Materials and methodsThis first applet was downloaded 7800 times from 89 dif-ferent countries, and recently Biotechniques journal hasselected the APP as one of the leading “methods-orientedapplets” and recommended it by the“websites every lifescientist should try”.ResultsAfter this great success we are presenting today theMIQE applet for the digital PCR (Figure 1).The digital PCR MIQE guidelines were publishedrecently by a group of experts [4]. This new applicationcould be used by scientists to check whether their digitalPCR (dPCR) experiment or the used literature fulfills theMIQE requirement. The ‘MIQE Guidelines’ checklist pro-vides 83 parameters that dPCR studies should be requiredor recommended to meet before being considered forpublication. This checklist is based on the originalpublishedMIQEchecklistforthedPCRandwehopeitwill increase future publication quality and reliability.ConclusionsThere are much more wider seen goals of the‘MIQEguidelines’, all in all the goals might be summarized asfollow: 1) to increase reliability of results, 2) to helpinsuring the integrity of scientific work, with major focuson biological relevance. This is an easy to use applet thatcan help reviewers and authors to gain time in theremanuscript preparation. Recently by using this applet wemanaged to analyze and evaluate 461 scientific paperspublished by Arabian countries (paper accepted inPLOSOne).
