6. In the RQ Detector Grid, select detectors to
include in the result graphs by clicking a
detector. (Ctrl-click to include multiple detectors;
Click-drag to include multiple adjacent
detectors.)
The corresponding samples appear in the RQ
Sample Grid. Depending on which tab you select
in the RQ Results Panel (Plate, Amplification
Plot, or Gene Expression), analysis results are
displayed.
To see information about a specific well, select
the Well Information tab.
Example
Suppose that you wanted to view the comparative gene expression levels of the following genes when the liver tissue was
used as the calibrator: ACVR1, ACVR2, CCR2, CD3D, and FLT4.
Selecting the detectors in the RQ Detector grid (1) displays the sample information in the RQ Sample grid (2) and a result
graph in the RQ Results panel (3). Note that
• The Gene Expression tab is selected.
• The gene expression levels are sorted by detector.
• Gene expression levels for bladder samples are denoted by the green bar; those for kidney samples by the blue bar.
These colors are used to denote the samples in the RQ Sample Grid and the RQ Results Panel plots.
• Liver samples were used as calibrators; consequently, the expression level of these samples is set to 1. But because the
graph plots gene expression levels as log 10 values (and the log 10 of 1 is 0), the expression level of the calibrator sample
appears as 0 in the graph.
• Because the relative quantities of the targets are normalized against the relative quantities of the endogenous control,
the expression level of the endogenous control is 0; there are no bars in for GAPDH.
• The value in the RQ column in the Sample Summary tab is 2 −∆∆CT .
