Validation of reference genes for the relative quantification of gene expression in human epicardial adipose tissue.

PloS one | 2012

Relative quantification is a commonly used method for assessing gene expression, however its accuracy and reliability is dependent upon the choice of an optimal endogenous control gene, and such choice cannot be made a priori. There is limited information available on suitable reference genes to be used for studies involving human epicardial adipose tissue. The objective of the current study was to evaluate and identify optimal reference genes for use in the relative quantification of gene expression in human epicardial fat depots of lean, overweight and obese subjects.

geNORM (tool)

RRID:SCR_006763

Software to determine most stable reference (housekeeping) genes from set of tested candidate reference genes in given sample panel. From this, gene expression normalization factor can be calculated for each sample based geometric mean of user-defined number of reference genes.

AlleleID (tool)

RRID:SCR_014790

Desktop software application for bacterial identification, pathogen detection, or species identification. It can be used for cross-species identification for microarrays and real time PCR primers. It uses ClustalW to align sequences then analyzes conserved and species specific regions within those sequences.
