Table 3 Comparison of fold change (Minus vs KCL-supplemented treatment) RT-qPCRs and Transcriptomes of E. coli. Please note that the genes analyzed for this validation study are based on DNAstar-D regulated genes since we found it to be the most conservative pipeline. The transcriptome data shown are ≥ 1.5 fold cutoff

From: A transcriptome software comparison for the analyses of treatments expected to give subtle gene expression responses
