Thank you so much ma'am Gund! Cheers!

Hi, again some literature.

Cheers, Nadine

THank you maam! cheers!

All samples were collected from patient in their first phase before treated. However, if the patient were completely treated when we take the samples we will not find any RNA to be amplified by RT-PCR

I am using the randomization test included in this free software:

I found it hihgly useful.

you can also check the randomization test included in Bio-rad products

It is quite helpful

I found this reference to be pretty useful when I was initally setting up my qPCR calculations:

In terms of stats, if you just have one treatment group vs. control, I believe all you need is a simple t-test, which you can do in Excel. If your setup is more complecated than that though, say multiple different treatments, you should perform an ANOVA test, in which case you would need more powerful statistical software. I have been using GraphPad Prism:

which I've found to be pretty user friendly and capable of making publication-quality graphs.

Like Jorge, we are using REST, works fine..
