NqA: an R-based algorithm for the normalization and analysis of microRNA quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction data.
In this note, we propose an R function named NqA (Normalization qPCR Array, where qPCR is quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction) suitable for the identification of a set of microRNAs (miRNAs) to be used for data normalization in view of subsequent validation studies with qPCR data. NqA is available through the website of the Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori of Milan (ht...
متن کاملNormalization of qPCR array data: a novel method based on procrustes superimposition
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, endogenous non-coding RNAs that function as guide molecules to regulate transcription of their target messenger RNAs. Several methods including low-density qPCR arrays are being increasingly used to profile the expression of these molecules in a variety of different biological conditions. Reliable analysis of expression profiles demands removal of technical variati...
متن کاملMicroRNA profiling in plasma samples using qPCR arrays: Recommendations for correct analysis and interpretation
MicroRNA (miRNA) regulate gene expression through posttranscriptional mRNA degradation or suppression of translation. Many (pre)analytical issues remain to be resolved for miRNA screening with TaqMan Low Density Arrays (TLDA) in plasma samples, such as optimal RNA isolation, preamplification and data normalization. We optimized the TLDA protocol using three RNA isolation protocols and preamplif...
متن کاملNormalization of circulating microRNA expression data obtained by quantitative real-time RT-PCR
The high-throughput analysis of microRNAs (miRNAs) circulating within the blood of healthy and diseased individuals is an active area of biomarker research. Whereas quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)-based methods are widely used, it is yet unresolved how the data should be normalized. Here, we show that a combination of different algorithms results in...
متن کاملSelection of suitable reference genes for real-time PCR studies of early developmental stages of sturgeons
In quantitative real-time PCR, the mRNA level can be quantified in relative terms based on the expression ratio of mRNAs of the target gene and an internal reference gene. Since, an internal standard should be expressed at a constant level among different tissues of an organism at all stages of development, and should be unaffected by the experimental treatment, the stability of different refer...
