Thus, the second step of our strategy was either analysis of published data and selection of experimentally validated target mRNAs for a given miRNA or theoretical prediction of miRNA targets based on their complementarity, using one of the most popular web resources TargetScan [ 28].
These studies are either based on comparative analysis of sequences from different species, or on Mutation and Selection experiments.
Most existing test statistics for the gene set enrichment analysis are either nonparametric or functions of z-score.
Full-set analysis values are either expressed as % of total or as mean ± SD, aWilcoxon rank-sum test, bFisher's exact test.
Full-set analysis values are either expressed as % of total or as mean ± SD. aWilcoxon rank-sum test, indicating the differences between severity scores (from 0 – not present to 4 – very severe) in the homeopathy and conventional group.
In multiple sclerosis cases, cortical lesions were either identified by analysis of multiple tissue blocks (n = 10 cases) or were specifically trimmed from hemispheric or double hemispheric sections (n = 11 cases).
Tree topologies used for analysis were either one of the most parsimonious trees, or the Bayesian tree gaining highest posterior probability, with the exception of five Cape clades for which only a consensus tree was available from the source publication.
As mentioned, depending on the nature of the study they might be either the focus of analysis or ignored as noise.
All studies included in the meta-analysis were either of the Japanese atomic-bomb survivors or of occupationally exposed groups.
After a 5 day culture period, cells were either lysed for western analysis of tight junction protein expressin (claudin 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 18, occludin, ZO-1, and JAM-A) and MAPk (JNK, ERK, an p38) signaling activation, or barrier function was examined by measuring transepithelial resistance (TER) or the flux of two molecular tracers (5 and 20 Å).
