Housekeeping gene selection advisory: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and β-actin are targets of miR-644a.

Results of overexpression or downregulation of a microRNA (miRNA) on its target mRNA expression are often validated by reverse-transcription and quantitative PCR analysis using an appropriate housekeeping gene as an internal control. The possible direct or indirect effects of a miRNA on the expressi...
