  1. Delta CT compares CT value from two reference genes; BestKeeper© calculates standard deviations (SD) based on raw crossing point; NormFinder gives stability value (Sv) by comparing inter and intra group variations; GeNorm value represents the average expression stability (M); RefFinder compares all other algorithms and gives an overall ranking on the basis of geometric mean.
