Alternatives: "most of the discrepancies" or "the bulk of discrepancies".
Eliminating these discrepancies, a majority of markers had over 90% accuracy in data consistency.
Based on additional EST evidence and conservation with multiple other vertebrate genome sequences [10], it appears to represent a novel SLC2A1 transcript as shown in Figure 4. Likewise, the majority of discrepancies between lengths measured by different clones from the same Unigene cluster that we have identified are due to clones that deviate from the established annotation.
He said the majority of discrepancies were accounted for, with 97 remaining in the case of Stoke-on-Trent South and 204 for Stoke-on-Trent North, and this margin of error was accepted by the candidates.
We see that the majority of discrepancies between allometric predictions occur in these high biomass areas, which is expected because more trees with smaller stems are destructively sampled for allometric model fitting, and indeed published allometries are often caveated by unknown uncertainties above a certain stem girth [12].
When the Tiling Assembly genes were compared to FL-cDNAs, the vast majority of discrepancies could be attributed to alternative splicing.
They noted that the majority of discrepancies were due to undiagnosed infection and that one-half of these were fungal in origin and were found in transplant patients.
While some inconsistencies were identified in over half of forms, women provided plausible explanations for the majority of discrepancies, indicating that inaccurate reporting was usually unintentional.
Multipoint microsampling of six primary and metastatic tumor pairs revealed that the majority of discrepancies in mutation patterns found with the bulk tissue analysis were due to loss of subpopulations in the metastatic tissues.
