BladderRepro: Dataset of Andersen et al (2004)

Description

This dataset was used in Andersen et al (2004) to demonstrate normalization of real-time quantitative RT-PCR data by geometric averaging of housekeeping genes.

Usage

data(BladderRepro)

Format

A qPCRBatch object which contains an expression matrix with the expression of 8 genes measured in 26 samples. The sample information is saved in the phenoData slot with variables

Grade

Grade of bladder cancer.

The following information on the measured genes is saved in the variables Symbol and Gene.name of the featureData slot.

CD14

CD14 antigen.

FCN1

Ficolin (collagen/fibrinogen domain containing) 1.

CCNG2
