The phrase "a confident set of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when describing a collection or group of items, ideas, or attributes that convey assurance or certainty.
Example: "The team presented a confident set of strategies to tackle the upcoming challenges."
Alternatives: "a strong collection of" or "a assured group of".
Using several stringent statistical selection criteria and filtering steps on probe sets (exons) and meta-probe sets (transcripts), we obtained a confident set of 2623 candidate genes that undergo isoform or whole gene expression variations specific to metastatic characteristics.
Thus, -fold values >2 represented a reasonable biological threshold to identify a confident set of SUMO-enriched proteins.
In general, ITRAQ values of >2 were taken to indicate significant changes in SUMOylation states, leading to a confident set of 710 proteins.
A confident set of 710 proteins represents the immune-induced SUMO proteome and analysis suggests that specific protein domains, cellular pathways, and protein complexes respond to immune stress.
While a number of functional tRNA genes may be filtered out due to the accumulation of mutations in neutral sites, we wanted to define a confident set of cow tRNA genes.
We assembled a confident set of transcription factor motifs using recent protein binding microarray and ChIP-chip data and used our collection of motifs to predict a comprehensive set of TFBSs across the S. cerevisiae genome.
Although this approach produces a highly confident set of alternative events, it can result in a huge reduction of the dataset, particularly in case of comparisons across samples with highly heterogeneous gene expression levels.
With appropriate statistical significance cut-offs (e.g. a Benjamini-Hochberg [ 25] False Discovery Rate correction), it is generally possible to select a highly confident set of probesets exhibiting significantly altered expression.
To elude false positive results of experimental detection for physical interactions and to create a high confident set of physical interactions, the pairs of interactions that are supported by at least three publications and that have an MI-score of at least 0.431 remain (http://wodaklab.org/iRefWeb/).
Therefore, it is possible that the segmental dataset represents an even more confident set of relocated retrogenes.
The confident set of common candidate genes between the two independent studies strongly suggests that they may have essential roles in breast cancer metastasis.
