5.4 Quantitative Real Time-PCR Validation Methods<br />

Figure 5.3: Correlation scatter plot showing the effect <strong>of</strong> the normalization method<br />

on the raw Ct values measured for the three endogenous controls.<br />

employed on the endogenous controls rearranging the Ct values to a smaller<br />

dynamic range. To capture biological variability within cell lines, we measured<br />

up to four independent RNA samples per line (indicated with the letters A,<br />

B, C, D in tables A.3 and A.4 in Appendix A.3). Figure 5.4 shows that the<br />

concordance between all our A, B biological replicates is very high and few<br />

outliers can be observed - identified with a gene name and highlighted in red<br />

in the figure. Differentially expressed genes were identified by the Wilcoxon<br />

rank sum test after averaging replicates.<br />
