\title{ Data set of Andersen et al (2004) }
\description{
  This data set was used in Andersen et al (2004) to demonstrate normalization 
  of real-time quantitative RT-PCR data by geometric averaging of housekeeping genes.
}
\usage{data(Colon)}
\format{
  A qPCRBatch object which contains an expression matrix with 40 observations on the following 13 variables 
  \describe{
    \item{\code{UBC}}{Ubiquitin C. }
    \item{\code{UBB}}{Ubiquitin B. }
    \item{\code{SUI1}}{Putative translation initiation factor. }
    \item{\code{NACA}}{Nascent-polypeptide-associated complex alpha polypeptide. }
    \item{\code{FLJ20030}}{Hypothetical protein FLJ20030. }
    \item{\code{CFL1}}{Cofilin 1 (non-muscle). }
    \item{\code{ACTB}}{Actin, beta. }
    \item{\code{CLTC}}{Clathrin, heavy polypeptide (Hc). }
    \item{\code{RPS13}}{Ribosomal protein S13. }
    \item{\code{RPS23}}{Ribosomal protein S23. }
    \item{\code{GAPD}}{Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. }
    \item{\code{TPT1}}{Tumor protein, translationally controlled 1. }
    \item{\code{TUBA6}}{Tubulin alpha 6. }
  }
  It also contains a "group" column in the pData slot, which gives information on the different sample classes,
  necessary for the NormFinder algorithm
}
\details{
  The genes included in this data set were selected by screening 161 colon 
  sample expression profiles.
