I performed a 3-replicate qPCR experiment and calculated the fold change using 2^(-ΔΔCt).
To combine the results of the replicates into one graph, I normalised the fold change by dividing the reference condition's fold change by itself (resulting in 1) and then dividing all other conditions by the reference.
I used the geometric mean to calculate the average fold change across the replicates, as I believe the arithmetic mean might be inaccurate in this case.
Is this approach correct for analysing my data? Or is there another more robust method you would recommend for this type of analysis?
Thank you!
