Normalized Gene Expression
To normalize data use the measured expression level of one or more reference genes (targets)
as a normalization factor. Reference genes are targets that are not regulated in the biological
system being studied, such as actin, GAPDH, or Histone H3.
To set up normalized gene expression (
ΔΔ
C(t)) analysis, follow these steps:
1. Open a data file (.pcrd extension).
2. Review the data in the Quantitation tab of the Data Analysis window. Make adjustments
to the data, such as changing the threshold and the Analysis Mode.
3. Click the
Gene Expression
tab.
4. Choose a control in the
Samples
tab of the Experiment Settings window. If a control is
assigned, the software normalizes the relative quantities for all genes to the control
quantity, which is set to 1.
5. Select reference genes for this experiment in the Target tab of the Experiment Settings
window. Gene expression analysis requires one reference among the targets in your
samples.
6. Select
Normalized Expression (
ΔΔ
C(t))
if it is not already selected, and then view the
expression levels in the Gene Expression tab.
