Abstract

When performing expression analysis either for coding RNA (e.g., mRNA) or non-coding RNA (e.g., miRNA), reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is a widely used method. To normalize these data, one or more stable endogenous references must be identified. RefFinder is an online web-based tool using four almost universally used algorithms for assessing candidate endogenous references-delta-Ct, BestKeeper, geNorm, and Normfinder. However, the online interface is presently cumbersome and time consuming. We developed an R package, RefSeeker, which performs easy and straightforward RefFinder analysis by enabling raw data import and calculation of stability from each of the algorithms and provides data output tools to create graphs and tables. This protocol uses RefSeeker R package for fast and simple RefFinder stability analysis. Key features Perform stability analysis using five algorithms: Normfinder, geNorm, delta-Ct, BestKeeper, and RefFinder. Identification of endogenous references for normalization of RT-qPCR data. Create publication-ready graphs and tables output. Step-by-step guide dialog window for novice R users.

摘要

在对编码RNA(如mRNA)或非编码RNA(如miRNA)进行表达分析时,逆转录定量实时聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)是一种广泛使用的方法。为了使这些数据标准化,必须识别一个或多个稳定的内参。RefFinder是一个基于网络的在线工具,它使用四种几乎普遍使用的算法来评估候选内参——ΔCt、BestKeeper、geNorm和Normfinder。然而,目前的在线界面繁琐且耗时。我们开发了一个R包RefSeeker,它通过允许导入原始数据并根据每种算法计算稳定性来轻松直接地进行RefFinder分析,并提供数据输出工具来创建图表和表格。本方案使用RefSeeker R包进行快速简单的RefFinder稳定性分析。关键特性 使用五种算法进行稳定性分析:Normfinder、geNorm、ΔCt、BestKeeper和RefFinder。识别用于RT-qPCR数据标准化的内参。创建可用于发表的图表和表格输出。为R新手用户提供逐步指导对话框窗口。
