Abstract:

      Real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) is one of the most commonly used technologies for genes expression analysis, with its high sensitivity, specificity, veracity, etc. In order to avoid differences of RNA quality and efficiency of reverse transcription, it is necessary to use housekeeping gene as the reference for data normalization. Some researches indicate that different reference genes should be selected regarding different experimental conditions and different insect species. Here, we summarized the advances in reference genes for qRT-PCR of insects research. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of selecting appropriate reference genes for qRT-PCR in insect molecular biological studies.
