“…The results identified by NormFinder were in line with the prediction obtained with geNorm, thus, B2M and 18S were exhibited as the most stably housekeeping genes under normal physiological condition. As reported in many other studies, under different experimental conditions, different tissues and different growth stage, the most stably housekeeping gene is different (Filby and Tyler 2007, Fernandes et al 2008, Infante et al 2008, Zhong et al 2008, Bower and Johnston 2009, Li et al 2010, Rverg4rd et al 2010, Dang and Sun 2011, Lrvoll et al 2011, Zheng and Sun 2011. For example, in red drum under conditions of bacterial infection, RPS35, ACTB, EF1A, ND1, TUBB, EF1A, ACTB and ACTB were analyzed as the ideal internal references in brain, gill, heart, intestine, kidney, liver, muscle and spleen, respectively (Sun and Hu 2015).…”
