Welcome to ICG A knowledgebase of Internal Control Genes for RT-qPCR normalization

Genes Downloads

ICG is a wiki-based knowledgebase of internal control genes (or reference genes) for RT-qPCR normalization in a variety of species. Based on community curation, ICG harnesses collective intelligence to integrate a comprehensive collection of internal control genes curated from a large volume of literatures and provides appropriate internal control genes corresponding to specific experimental conditions for both model and non-model organisms. Nothing great is ever accomplished in isolation. – Yo-Yo Ma
