Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Sequence Based Validation of Gene Expression Microarray DataGerhard G. Thallinger, Eva Obermayr, Pornpimol Charoentong et al.Problem statement: Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) is often used to validate microarray data. Previous studies show different levels of correlation, without further investigation of influencing factors. Approach: We compared expression levels of 381 genes obtained from microarray hybridizations and from TaqMan based RT-qPCR assays. Correlation of expression levels was determined by comparing: (i) single genes across samples, (ii) all … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 19 Jan 2012 · 13,722 accessesView PDFCite
