Efficiency data for reference genes and target genes. CT values obtained from 10-fold serial dilutions of cDNA were plotted against dilution factors and the reaction efficiency was calculated using qBasePLUS software.

RSq, r-squared; Rn, normalized reporter signal; dRn, delta Rn (Rn minus the baseline); Tm, melting temperature
