_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Computation of the gene expression stability value M for real-time
      quantitativ RT-PCR data. For more details we refer to 
     Vandesompele et al. (2002).

_U_s_a_g_e:

     geneStabM(relData, na.rm = FALSE)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

 relData: matrix or data.frame containing real-time quantitative 
          RT-PCR data 

   na.rm: a logical value indicating whether 'NA' values should be
          stripped before the computation proceeds. 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The gene expression stability value M is defined as the average
     pairwise normalization factor; i.e., one needs to specify data
     from at least two genes. For more details see Vandesompele et al.
     (2002).

_V_a_l_u_e:

     numeric vector with gene expression stability values
