Increased bone marrow signal, denoting inflammation in the SIJ, vertebral bodies, and posterior spine elements was assessed on STIR sequences.
Cortical signal abnormality was assessed on DWI sequences where available in the following areas: frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, cingulate, insula, hippocampus and cerebellum.
The conservation of amino acid sequence motifs was assessed on the aligned sequences using the column composition function of GeneDoc.
To this purpose, the entire pool of genetic determinants related to antibiotic resistance was assessed on whole-genome sequences of strains from different sampling origins and antibiotic resistance profiles after having defined their phylogenetic relationships by core genome phylogeny.
The native peptide theoretical antimicrobial potential was assessed on the basis of sequence with special AMPA software (http://tcoffee.crg.cat/apps/ampa/do) [ 41].
Redundancy information on cDNA-AFLP sequences assessed on the basis of the number and proportion of contigs and singlets.
Wilcoxon's test showed that the means of lateral ventricles volumes measures for all patients assessed on the two 3D sequences (T1 Bravo and T1 coronal) were similar (P = 0.36).
These settings yielded 932 datasets with four sequences or more, among which 711 included 100 or more aligned amino acid positions assessed on the S. salmonicida input sequence.
Bias was assessed on the grounds of: random sequence generation, allocation concealment, blinding of outcome assessment, incomplete outcome data, selective reporting, and other sources.
Each DRE core in the GSTA5 orthologs was extended by 7 bp on either end and assessed for sequence similarity by measuring the Euclidean distance between sequence pairs.
