This paper evaluates the performance of the newest technique for monitoring the expression of a panel of pathwayor disease-specific genes: the RT2 Profiler PCR Array System from SA Biosciences. The PCR Array System combines the quantitative performance of SYBR® Green-based real-time PCR with the multiple gene profiling capabilities of a microarray. The PCR Array is a 96or 384-well plate contain...

Endometriosis is a painful chronic female disease defined by the presence of endometrial tissue implants in ectopic (Ec) locations. The pathogenesis is much debated, and type-I interferons (IFNs) could be involved. The expression of genes of the type-I IFN response were profiled by a specific PCR array of RNA obtained from Ec and eutopic (Eu) endometrium collected from nine endometriosis patien...

Selecting an appropriate reference gene is of crucial importance for improving the accuracy qRT-PCR analyses. In this study, strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) seedlings were subjected to different environmental conditions including heat, cold, drought, salt, white-light, blue-light, and red-light treatments. The expression levels seven candidate genes, Fa18S, FaGAPDH, FaPIRUV, FaDBP, FaHISTH4, FaA...
