Fig 2. Pairwise variation (V) analysis of the candidate reference genes based on geNorm.

Fig 2

The pair-wise variation (Vn/Vn+1) was analyzed to determine the best number of references genes demanded for qRT-PCR data normalization [1]. The value V6/7 is higher than V5/6; this is due to the inclusion of a relative unstable sixth gene. Increasing variation in this ratio corresponds to decreasing expression stability.
