Novel reference genes for quantifying transcriptional responses of Escherichia coli to protein overexpression by quantitative PCR

Background: Accurate interpretation of quantitative PCR (qPCR) data requires normalization using constitutively expressed reference genes. Ribosomal RNA is often used as a reference gene for transcriptional studies in E. coli. However, the choice of reliable reference genes has not been systematical...
