Comparison and correlation between results obtained through qPCR and microarrray, in terms of fold change and p-value (or adjusted p-value).

Correlation coefficients of logarithm-scaled fold change derived from qPCR and microarray were calculated in order to determine result repeatability by the two different quantification approaches. Statistically significant results at p2 = 0.9) was found in the fold change values derived from qPCR and microarray, and 6 of the 7 genes (marked with asterisk) were regarded as statistically significant by both quantification methods.
