Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is generally regarded as a very accurate and time-saving method, but it is expensive to run. We evaluated the reliability of an inexpensive and a researcher-friendly gel electrophoresis-based PCR method for the quantification of mRNA, and the results were compared with those obtained by real-time PCR.
