Oligonucleotides for quantitative PCR after reverse transcription (RT–qPCR). Oligonucleotides for RT–qPCR are listed as forward and reverse pairs for each transcript tested. Primers used for strand-specific cDNA preparation are indicated with one asterisk corresponding to a primer for sense and two asterisks for antisense. QPCR was conducted with both forward and reverse primer pairs.
