Many studies selected a number of potential reference genes based on what is used in other plant species, and tested changes in transcript abundance, using statistical algorithms outlined above to test for variations in different organs or environmental conditions, to determine their suitability as reference genes [ 14- 17].
The primary outcomes were changes in knowledge and skills (Fresno test), changes in attitude (McColl test) and intentions to change behaviour.
Paired sample t tests were conducted to test changes in internalizing and externalizing problems between pre- and post-bereavement specified for parental bereavement, sibling bereavement, family bereavement and for the non-bereaved.
We grouped the primary transcripts of a gene based on the promoter used, and subsequently tested changes in primary transcript abundance by measuring the square root of the Jensen-Shannon divergence that occurred within and between the analyzed groups.
We plotted uncorrected pairwise sequence divergence distances against corresponding dS and dN values to test change in lineage-specific selection pressure.
Education, pill testing, changes in policing and the introduction of amnesty bins all make a significant difference to the potential harms facing those who will continue to use drugs.
We computed connectivity estimates between 11 specific ROIs belonging to the DMN [Watanabe et al., 2013] to study measures of connectivity between those ROIs, testing changes in local and global network structure that may occur following stroke.
We thus could use the Or7a-GAL4 line to specifically ablate Or7a+ antennal neurons and test for changes in behavior.
To obtain regional measures of model fit, and test for changes in model fit when adding predictors, required estimating regional responses for single trials that could be entered into multiple linear regression models.
Purified human spermatozoa from healthy donors were incubated under capacitating conditions (including albumin, bicarbonate and glucose) and tested for changes in ATP levels, motility, hyperactivation and tyrosine phosphorylation after treatment with pyruvate.
