For data analyses, a standard curve was constructed by amplification of serially diluted plasmids containing the target sequence. Data were analyzed at the termination of each assay using Sequence Detection Software (Sequence Detection Software, version 1.3.1; Applied Biosystems, Norwalk, CT, USA; Girard et al., 2008 (link), 2010 (link), 2013 (link), 2016 (link); Gonzalez et al., 2013 (link)) as previously described. Data are expressed as the relative quantity of the gene of interest normalized to the relative quantity of the housekeeping gene, ribosomal protein L32.
