Identification of genes from flat oyster Ostrea edulis as suitable
housekeeping genes for quantitative real time PCR.
In this study, the reaction of
housekeeping genes of B.
(2004) Determination of stable
housekeeping genes, differentially regulated target genes and sample integrity: BestKeeper-Excel-based tool using pair-wise correlations Biotechnology Letter 26, 509-515.
[DELTA]Ct values were normalized using the mean values of three
housekeeping genes: [beta]-Actin, [beta]-2-microglobulin, and GAPDH.
The melting curves of the 2
housekeeping genes ACTB and HTN3 showed a single peak with similar melting temperatures (85 [degrees]C), indicating no DNA contamination and no primer-dimer artifacts.
Based on earlier gene expression studies in domestic fowl, we have tested the stability of expression of seven
housekeeping genes, including GAPDH, ACTB, HPRT1, TUB, succinate dehydrogenase flavoprotein A (SDHA), 18S rRNA and 28S rRNA in this study.
PCR Amplification of the
Housekeeping Genes and Polymorphism Analysis
In Chapter 3, the authors cover topics such as the quality and quantity of the labeled target, the use of
housekeeping genes and other controls, imaging of the arrays, and initial statistical and data analysis steps.
To characterize the Leptospira species detected in bats from Mengyin County, we attempted multilocus sequence typing (MLST) on 7
housekeeping genes (glmU, pntA, sucA, tpiA, pfkB, mreA, and caiB), as previously described (9).
Specific primers for determining the expression of
housekeeping genes and the genes of interest (Table 1) were designed using Primer 3 software.
