Moreover, the use of non-stringent criteria in the choice of subjects could have led to the enrolment of individuals with subclinical AITD, thus resulting in relatively high levels of TgAb causing the raise of the 97.5th percentile of the reference value distribution platforms [32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37].
A relatively low validation rate of 29% was obtained for SNVs (Supp. Table S7), which can be attributed to the non-stringent criteria for inclusion of candidate SNVs in the HaloPlex experiment.
We used relatively non-stringent criteria to define deaths from AIDS (ICD-10 codes B20-B24, R75), even if only one physician coded the cause as AIDS, if a diagnosis of HIV had been recorded by a physician in the past, or if any key word in the history or narrative included "HIV" or "AIDS".
Even with these relatively non-stringent selection criteria, the results showed a surprisingly large number of genes with a fetal cartilage-selective expression pattern.
All four enzymes performed satisfactorily in our minisequencing assay taking into account the non-stringent genotyping criteria used.
Imatinib represented a striking example for the presence of unreliable target annotations under non-stringent data selection criteria.
We used BLASTn with non-stringent parameters and criteria for order and genomic distance conservation to locate all occurrences of the same HCEs in the mouse, rat, chicken, frog, zebrafish, fugu and tetraodon genomes [see details in Methods; Additional file 2].
This classification adopts a more stringent criterion for a TSS being non-CpG-related (CpG-poor).
We combined these three published data sets [1] [3] to form an integrated data set consisting of 7,570 distinct highly conserved elements (HCEs) in the human genome, and used BLASTn with non-stringent parameters plus order and distance conservation criteria to locate all occurrences of the same HCEs in the mouse, rat, chicken, zebrafish and tetraodon genomes (Materials and Methods, Figure S2).
When she used a more stringent criterion — five or more copied words — the incidence of unacknowledged borrowing hit 100 percent.
This is a fairly stringent criterion.
