MIQE is a set of guidelines that describe the minimum information necessary for evaluation of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction experiments. Included is a checklist to accompany the initial submission of a manuscript to the publisher.  By providing all relevant experimental conditions and assay characteristics, reviewers can assess the validity of the protocols used. Full disclosure of all reagents, sequences, and analysis methods is necessary to enable other investigators to reproduce results. MIQE details should be published either in abbreviated form or as an online supplement.  Following these guidelines will encourage better experimental practice, allowing more reliable and unequivocal interpretation of quantitative PCR results.
