Journal ArticleDOI

Accurate normalization of real-time quantitative RT-PCR data by geometric averaging of multiple internal control genes

TL;DR: The normalization strategy presented here is a prerequisite for accurate RT-PCR expression profiling, which opens up the possibility of studying the biological relevance of small expression differences.
Journal ArticleDOI

qBase relative quantification framework and software for management and automated analysis of real-time quantitative PCR data

TL;DR: Advanced and universally applicable models for relative quantification and inter-run calibration with proper error propagation along the entire calculation track are outlined in qBase, a free program for the management and automated analysis of qPCR data.
Journal ArticleDOI

miR-9, a MYC/MYCN-activated microRNA, regulates E-cadherin and cancer metastasis

TL;DR: It is shown that miR-9, which is upregulated in breast cancer cells, directly targets CDH1, the E-cadherin-encoding messenger RNA, leading to increased cell motility and invasiveness, and a regulatory and signalling pathway involving a metastasis-promoting miRNA that is predicted to directly target expression of the key metastasis
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrative genome analyses identify key somatic driver mutations of small-cell lung cancer

TL;DR: This study implicates histone modification as a major feature of SCLC, reveals potentially therapeutically tractable genomic alterations and provides a generalizable framework for the identification of biologically relevant genes in the context of high mutational background.
