By chance, the selected microsatellites had a wide range of Δ msat values.
For the cell-cycle process, selected 25 transcripts (significantly higher number than the 5% expected by chance), whereas selected only 16 transcripts (not significantly higher number than the 5% expected by chance).
To examine the possibility of whether the AbrB-binding motif was discovered by chance, we selected three sets of data, each of which consists of 300 50 bp sequences randomly selected from the B. subtilis 168 genome sequence by the RSA tool, and analysed by Bipad.
Briefly, for each degree of overlap for each read we computed the probability of obtaining the observed number of matches by chance, and selected degree of overlap that produced the lowest probability, with a p-value less than 10−10 required to merge reads.
Yater-Wallace was given a spot on the Olympic roster by virtue of his medal chances — selected over Gus Kenworthy, who had hoped to compete in both halfpipe and in slopestyle, in which he won a silver medal last week.
Other deletions with relatively little effect on the tumor's proliferative capabilities can be seen at low frequencies when they are, by chance, co-selected with other oncogenic events.
Thus it is possible that all children are more or less randomly selecting words, but, by chance, some children select a poorly structured set and become late talkers as a consequence.
A hypergeometric test was then applied in R [ 84] to calculate a P value for each GO term that represents the probability that the number of positively selected sites observed to be associated with a GO term (or greater number than this) would be seen by chance if positively selected sites were distributed randomly across the genes.
The example in Fig. 2a was a case where, by chance, the sample selected showed a non-significant relationship between the target and auxiliary variable.
To test how frequently this would be expected to happen by chance, we randomly selected two individuals from the set, and checked if they shared a pMHC.
No significant peaks were found in 50 randomized sequences tested (see Fig. 3B), suggesting that significant peaks rarely occur by chance with the selected settings.
