Results from our forumRe: How Genes/expression Determine Organism Shape... neighboring cells) results in birth defects. As to the other aspect of your question - genetic regulation of organism's size: Imagine this: Gene1 = produces growth hormone Gene 1 allele A (which is a variant of this gene) - can make 100 units of hormone per hour. Gene 1 allele B - can make ...

How Genes/expression Determine Organism ShapeCan anyone give a relatively general account on how DNA and gene expression determine an organism's physical shape, i.e., size, skeletal structure, body shape, etc. I would ...

Problem with the normalization of PCR Ct values... cDNA for the standard curve will result in knowing the conc. of the gene of interest. Tzua, any paper dealing with the expression level of a certain gene using RT-qPCR would be suffice I guess.

Problem with the normalization of PCR Ct values... does this resulting value mean? The higher the value, the higher the expression ? In regard to formulating this, can I say something like "The expression was observed to be X copies of the gene of interest mRNA / copy of reference gene mRNA" ? Finally if I want to ...
