TBP and colorectal carcinoma: The 6 candidate reference genes were: ACTB, HPRT, RPLPO, TBP, TFRC; beta-GUS And the expression was tested on 5 Healthy; 3 AA; 2 CRC and 3 IBS samples As can be seen in Fig B in S1 File, ACTB gene was expressed in early qPCR cycles (cycle 23–28), and beta-GUS gene was expressed in late qPCR cycles (34.5–39) and expression of TBP gene could not be detected in all samples.
