Evaluation of candidate reference genes for gene expression research in Vespula vulgaris by Gemma M. McLaughlin

“…Reducing at least 80% of invasive wasp densities is necessary to manage the problems this species presents to its invaded range. To explore the function of target genes for the genetic management of V. vulgaris, screening of appropriate reference genes is crucial for conducting the reverse transcriptase-quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). …”
