+qPyCR: qPCR Analysis with Recursive PCR Model
+
+A Python package for quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis using a recursive 
+PCR model that provides robust quantification accuracy and evaluation 
+of PCR quality and template interference.
+
+Based on the recursive PCR model described in:
+    Carr AC, Moore SD (2012) Robust quantification of polymerase chain 
+    reactions using global fitting. PLoS ONE 7(5): e37640.
+    https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0037640

+
+qPyCR is a notebook‑first qPCR analysis workflow that implements global data fitting using a recursive PCR model.  
+It accepts raw, unadjusted CSV data and produces Cq, Seed, Max, KD, and Max/KD outputs.
+
+### Example Outputs
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="images/Readme_Output.png" alt="Output csv viewed in spreadsheet" width="500">
+</p>
+

+</p>
+
+
+## Recommended Use
+
+This project is designed to run as a Jupyter notebook. Choose one:
+
+**Option 1: Binder (no install)**  
+Click the badge above to launch the notebook in your browser — no setup required.  
+Use `../examples/test_data.csv` as the input path. Outputs are saved to `notebooks/outputs/` — download before closing the session.
+
+**Option 2: Google Colab**  
+Upload the notebook from `notebooks/` to [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/).
+
+**Option 3: Local Jupyter**  
+Clone the repo and run `pip install -r requirements.txt`, then open the notebook in `notebooks/`.
+
+### Running the Analysis
+1. Run cells in order (Cell‑0 → Cell‑11).
+2. Use `-e` for evaluation outputs or `-d` for full debug outputs.
+3. In some environments, 'Run All' may hang after providing input selections; you can click 'Run' repeatedly to step through the remaining cells.
+
+## Inputs
+CSV format with a `Cycle` column and one or more sample columns containing qPCR data for each cycle.
+
+## Outputs
+Cell‑11 generates the final report:
+- `*_qPCR_Analysis_Outputs_*.csv`
+
+Evaluation/Debug modes add intermediate CSVs and plots in `outputs/`.

+## Scientific Background
+This software implements and extends the use of the recursive PCR model described in:
+
+> Carr AC, Moore SD (2012) Robust quantification of polymerase chain reactions using global fitting.  
+> PLoS ONE 7(5): e37640. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0037640
+
+Is also generates the max/KD ratio for reaction performance evaluation described in:
+
+> Moore SD (2025) Thermal-bias PCR: generation of amplicon libraries without degenerate primer interference.
