  1. Results were obtained following analyses with the three distinct algorithms geNorm, NormFinder and BestKeeper. GM, geometric mean; M, average expression stability; SV, stability value; Std Dev, standard deviation; Cp, process capability. When employing NormFinder and geNorm, low stability values indicate greater gene expression stability. When employing BestKeeper, genes with standard deviation values greater than 1 are considered as inconsistent.
