Despite RNA-Seq being the capstone technology for gene expression profiling, qPCR remains the go-to technique for validation. To this day, qPCR validation of microarray data is commonplace, and many see it as necessary, given that microarrays involve hybridization to a glass ...
Read More »Benchmarking of RNA-Seq analysis workflows
RNA-sequencing has become the gold standard for whole-transcriptome gene expression quantification. Multiple algorithms have been developed to derive gene counts from sequencing reads. While a number of benchmarking studies have been conducted, the question remains how individual methods perform at ...
Read More »A Whole Transcriptome Approach to Evaluating Reference Genes for Quantitative Gene Expression Studies
While qPCR is widely recognized as among the most accurate of methods for quantifying gene expression, it is highly dependent on the use of reliable, stably expressed reference genes. With the increased availability of high-throughput methods for measuring gene expression, ...

Gene expression measurements are typically performed on a fixed-weight aliquot of RNA, which assumes that the total number of transcripts per cell stays nearly constant across all conditions. In cases where this assumption does not hold (e.g., when comparing cell ...
