Abstract:Background: The quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) is a widely used technique that relies on the reference gene for gene expression normalization. Selecting a suitable reference gene is a crucial step to obtain an accurate result in qRT-PCR. However, most previous studies of fishes adopted reference genes that were commonly used in mammals without validation. Results: In this study, we utilized 89 transcriptome datasets covering early developmental stages and adult tissues, and carried … Show more
