Evaluation of Candidate Reference Genes for Gene Expression Normalization
Study performed in Brassica juncea using real time quantitative RT-PCR.

Reliable and Rapid Characterization of Functional FCN2 Gene Variants Reveals Diverse Geographical Patterns
In this study, scientists genotyped and characterized four FCN2 functional SNP variants in West Africans, South Americans, South East Asians from Vietnam and Caucasians from Germany using an available rapid, reliable and cost effective FRET-RTPCR methodology.

The Potential of TaqMan Array Cards for Detection of Multiple Biological Agents by Real-Time PCR
The TaqMan Array Card architecture, normally used for gene expression studies, was evaluated for its potential to detect multiple bacterial agents by real-time PCR.

Selection of Suitable Reference Genes for RT-qPCR Analyses in Cyanobacteria
In this work we have validated candidate reference genes for accurate normalization of RT-qPCR data in cyanobacteria. Several genes were selected and their transcription analyzed in three morphological distinct organisms.
