Gene Expression Analysis
120
The standard error for the normalization factor in the normalized expression formula is shown
here:
Where:
• n = Number of reference targets
• SE = Standard error
• NF = Normalized expression
• RQ = Relative quantity
The standard error for normalized gene of interest (GOI) formula is shown here:
Where:
• SE = Standard error
• GOI = Gene of interest (one target)
• NF = Normalization factor
• n = Number of reference targets
