Reference gene validation for gene expression normalization in canine osteosarcoma: a geNorm algorithm approach [PDF]
Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a common method for quantifying mRNA expression. Given the heterogeneity present in tumor tissues, it is crucial to normalize target mRNA expression data using appropriate reference genes that are stably expressed under a variety of pathological and experimental conditions.

GenORM: Generalizable One-shot Rope Manipulation with Parameter-Aware Policy [PDF]
Due to the inherent uncertainty in their deformability during motion, previous methods in rope manipulation often require hundreds of real-world demonstrations to train a manipulation policy for each rope, even for simple tasks such as rope goal reaching, which hinder their applications in our ever-changing world.

A simple method to assess group difference in RT-qPCR reference gene selection using GeNorm: The case of the placental sex [PDF]
AbstractNormalization with proper reference genes is a crucial step in obtaining accurate mRNA expression levels in RT-qPCR experiments. GeNorm and NormFinder are two commonly used software packages that help in selecting the best reference genes, based on their expression stability.

GeneChip, geNorm, and gastrointestinal tumors: novel reference genes for real-time PCR [PDF]
Accurate quantitation of target genes depends on correct normalization. Use of genes with variable tissue transcription ( GAPDH) is problematic, particularly in clinical samples, which are derived from different tissue sources. Using a large-scale gene database (Affymetrix U133A) data set of 36 gastrointestinal (GI) tumors and normal tissues, we ...

Validation of suitable internal control genes for expression studies in aging. [PDF]
Quantitative data from experiments of gene expression are often normalized through levels of housekeeping genes transcription by assuming that expression of these genes is highly uniform. This practice is being questioned as it becomes increasingly clear

Methylation-dependent PAD2 upregulation in multiple sclerosis peripheral blood [PDF]
Background: Peptidylarginine deiminase 2 (PAD2) and peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) are two members of PAD family which are over-expressed in the multiple sclerosis (MS) brain.

A novel and universal method for microRNA RT-qPCR data normalization [PDF]
Gene expression analysis of microRNA molecules is becoming increasingly important. In this study we assess the use of the mean expression value of all expressed microRNAs in a given sample as a normalization factor for microRNA real-time quantitative PCR
