From: A comparison of the Giardia lamblia trophozoite and cyst transcriptome using microarrays
Validation of microarray data with quantitative PCR. Mean Cy3 fluorescence was plotted against RT PCR crossing point for live cysts (6 microarrays) and 24-h trophozoites (3 microarrays). The plot shows the expected inverse correlation between the two variables. Crossing Point values shown in Table 3 in columns "Trophozoites 24 h" and "Cysts" were used for the 10 genes listed in the table. Where the same gene was analyzed in replicate PCR analyses the mean of the observed Crossing Points was used. Triangles, trophozoites; circles, cysts.
