Robust RT-qPCR data normalization: validation and selection of internal reference genes during post-experimental data analysis.

Reverse transcription and real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) has been widely used for rapid quantification of relative gene expression. To offset technical confounding variations, stably-expressed internal reference genes are measured simultaneously along with target genes for data normalization. Statistic met...
