Ignoring the heat losses occurred during the SAGD experiments adversely affects the quantitative and qualitative results acquired due to the excessive steam condensation.
This suggests, on the one hand, that small-effect QTL are difficult to identify with traditional strategies and, on the other hand, that the polymorphisms regulating gene expression might only slightly affect the quantitative traits, and thus are more difficult to identify.
Alternatively, functional traits may remain variable even when genetic variation is low, as the loss of rare alleles will not greatly affect the quantitative trait distribution, and nonadditive genetic variance may either aid in fitness directly, or be converted to additive variance due to allele frequency shifts (Dlugosch and Parker 2008; Dawson et al. 2012; Le Roux et al. 2013).
We identified several genetic loci that affect the quantitative variations of plasma lipid and glucose levels and obesity traits in a TH × B6 intercross.
This may be viewed as qualitative and may affect the quantitative analysis.
Although the values of R2contact and pB affect the quantitative values of the residue-specific parameters, the interpretation of the data is independent of the chosen values (see Figure S8 of the Supporting Information).
Furthermore, sampling methods and anticoagulants may affect the quantitative analysis with some peptides [16].
In summary, the model simplifications will not affect the qualitative predictions and are unlikely to significantly affect the quantitative predictions.
After any change in the type of well counter, the difference in the measurement result will affect the quantitative analysis of images when the examinations were performed before and after the change.
Cryopreservation may affect the quantitative aspect of drug transport similar to other factors like incubation and cell culture conditions which may also affect transporter expression on the mRNA level (Richert et al. 2006).
