N, number of samples; G Mean [Ct], geometric mean of the Ct; A Mean [Ct], arithmetic mean of the Ct; Min [Ct] and Max [Ct], extreme values of the Ct; SD [±Ct], standard deviation of the Ct; CV [% Ct], coefficient of variance expressed as percentage on the Ct level. Coeff. of corr. [r], coefficient of correlation. *Indicates the best correlation between the control genes and the BestKeeper index.
