It is also possible to assign a different prioritization to each of the targets, which results in a slightly different ranking scheme.
This is an amazing improvement on previous contests and consistent with recent results [25], despite their use of larger candidate sets (PubChem instead of ChemSpider) and a slightly different ranking system.
The selection model applied to published data yielded a slightly different ranking, with paroxetine, mirtazapine and venlafaxine XR tying for first and venlafaxine was fourth.
As shown in File S1, section 4, such a set of pruned "mutation-only" haplotypes has a slightly different rank-frequency spectrum: The exponent β is exactly 1, rather than 1 − u/ s.

With PXR having a large and flexible ligand-binding pocket, it may bind to BODIPY FL vindoline and BODIPY FL vinblastine with different conformations, resulting in a slightly different ligand potency rank order when different PXR fluorescent probes are used.
In addition, these atom types are identical between Substance and Compound databases but ranked in a slightly different order, in part, due to the duplicity of the chemical structures in Substance records.
It is apparent that using a slightly different set of metrics could have produced a very different ranking for many of the assemblies.
