TLDR
This protocol provides an overview of the comparative CT method for quantitative gene expression studies and various examples to present quantitative gene Expression data using this method.Abstract:
Two different methods of presenting quantitative gene expression exist: absolute and relative quantification. Absolute quantification calculates the copy number of the gene usually by relating the PCR signal to a standard curve. Relative gene expression presents the data of the gene of interest relative to some calibrator or internal control gene. A widely used method to present relative gene expression is the comparative C(T) method also referred to as the 2 (-DeltaDeltaC(T)) method. This protocol provides an overview of the comparative C(T) method for quantitative gene expression studies. Also presented here are various examples to present quantitative gene expression data using this method.read more

Delivery of Prolamins to the Protein Storage Vacuole in Maize Aleurone Cells
Francisca C. Reyes,Taijoon Chung,David R. Holding,Rudolf Jung,Richard D. Vierstra,Marisa S. Otegui +5 more
TL;DR: An unusual autophagic mechanism for the delivery of storage proteins to the vacuole that may be common to cereals is described and genes encoding zeins, α-globulin, and legumin-1 are transcribed not only in the starchy endosperm but also in aleurone cells.

Direct Transcriptional Reprogramming of Adult Cells to Embryonic Nephron Progenitors
Caroline E. Hendry,Jessica M. Vanslambrouck,Jessica Ineson,Norseha Suhaimi,Minoru Takasato,Fiona K. Rae,Melissa H. Little +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that reinitiation of kidney development from a population of adult cells by generating embryonic progenitors may be feasible, opening the way for additional cellular and bioengineering approaches to renal repair and regeneration.

Interplay between HIV-1 infection and host microRNAs
Guihua Sun,Haitang Li,Xiwei Wu,Maricela Covarrubias,Lisa Scherer,Keith Meinking,Brian T. Luk,Pritsana Chomchan,Jessica Alluin,Adrian F. Gombart,John J. Rossi +10 more
TL;DR: The data support a possible regulatory circuit at the peak of HIV-1 replication which involves downregulation of microRNA-29, expression of Nef, the apoptosis of host CD4 cells and upregulation ofmicroRNA-223.

TL;DR: Classifier analysis of genomic data from endometrium can detect and stage pelvic E with high accuracy, dependent or independent of hormonal milieu, and it is proposed that limited classifier candidate genes are of high value in developing diagnostics and identifying therapeutic targets.

Antibiotic resistance genes in an urban river as impacted by bacterial community and physicochemical parameters.
TL;DR: The disparate distribution of some bacteria, including Bacteroides from mammalian gastrointestinal flora, Burkholderia from zoonotic infectious diseases, and Zoogloea from wastewater treatment, indicates that the urban river was strongly influenced by point-source pollution.

Analysis of relative gene expression data using real-time quantitative pcr and the 2(-delta delta c(t)) method
TL;DR: The 2-Delta Delta C(T) method as mentioned in this paper was proposed to analyze the relative changes in gene expression from real-time quantitative PCR experiments, and it has been shown to be useful in the analysis of realtime, quantitative PCR data.

A new mathematical model for relative quantification in real-time RT-PCR.
TL;DR: This study enters into the particular topics of the relative quantification in real-time RT-PCR of a target gene transcript in comparison to a reference gene transcript and presents a new mathematical model that needs no calibration curve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cluster analysis and display of genome-wide expression patterns
TL;DR: A system of cluster analysis for genome-wide expression data from DNA microarray hybridization is described that uses standard statistical algorithms to arrange genes according to similarity in pattern of gene expression, finding in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that clustering gene expression data groups together efficiently genes of known similar function.

A Multigene Assay to Predict Recurrence of Tamoxifen-Treated, Node-Negative Breast Cancer

TL;DR: The recurrence score has been validated as quantifying the likelihood of distant recurrence in tamoxifen-treated patients with node-negative, estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer and could be used as a continuous function to predict distant recurrent in individual patients.
