Global expression analysis of the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus (Phaeophyceae) reveals large-scale reprogramming of the transcriptome in response to abiotic stress

Table 2 Comparison of microarray and RT-qPCR results for housekeeping or stable genes

The table displays the maximum log2-ratio between any stress and the control condition for both the microarray and the RT-qPCR analysis. No RT-qPCR value is available for R26S, as this gene was used for normalization of the RT-qPCR samples. ID corresponds to the name of the sequence on the array.
