Fig. 2.

The main statistical indexes which characterize stability of gene expression. Along the Y-axis, there are the names of genes; along the X-axis, there are the values of the investigated indexes. Coefficient of variation—coefficient of variation for each investigated gene; geNorm—M values calculated by geNorm are represented; BestKeeper—coefficient of correlation to BestKeeper index calculated for each investigated gene; NormFinder—index of gene expression stability calculated for each gene by NormFinder software utility. Genes are ranked from the most stable (at the top of the diagram) to the less stable for all the diagrams which characterize different indexes of gene expression stability
