TABLE 3.

Overall ranking of all evaluated ncRNAs expressed as the arithmetic mean of the ranks achieved in Bestkeeper, delta-Cq method, geNorm, and NormFinder in DRG, dhSC, and mPFC of non-treated, sham, and SNI mice, calculated by setting a common threshold (0.1) and by using LinRegPCR software.

DRG, dorsal root ganglia; dhSC, dorsal horn of the spinal cord; mPFC, medial prefrontal cortex; SNI, spared nerve injury; the three most stable ncRNAs are depicted in bold.
