Abstract

<p>Stable reference genes are important for gene expression analyses such as quantitative PCR. The stability of 15 candidate reference genes that can be used to developing mouse gonads was thoroughly verified using combinations of multiple algorithms. The expression of these genes fluctuated greatly depending on the analysis period and/or gender. Peptidylprolyl isomerase A (Ppia) and polymerase (RNA) II (DNA directed) polypeptide A (Polr2a) were the reference genes that were used stably for a wide analysis period in developing mouse gonads. Furthermore, the stable reference genes corresponding to the analysis period and/or gender were ranked. These results are useful for the selection of the optimal reference gene required for high-precision measurements.</p>
