A set of endogenous control genes for use in quantitative real-time PCR experiments reveal that the wild-type formin Ldia2 is enriched in the early pond snail embryo
Abstract:Although the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis is an emerging model organism for molecular studies in a wide variety of fields including development, biomineralisation and neurophysiology, there are a limited number of verified endogenous control genes for use in quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). As part of larger study on snail chirality or left-right asymmetry, we wished to assay relative gene expression in pond snail embryos, so we evaluated six new candidate control genes, by comparing their expression in t… Show more
