Correlation of nicotine intake with gene expression measured by PCR in AcbS.

A total of 13 genes were selected for validation. The levels of gene expression obtained by RNAseq vs. real-time PCR were correlated with the amount of nicotine intake from the same strains (data reported previously [29]).

共选取13个基因用于验证实验。通过RNA测序（RNA-seq）与实时荧光定量PCR（real-time PCR）获得的基因表达水平，与同一菌株的尼古丁摄入量进行了相关性分析，相关数据已在既往研究[29]中报道。
