The phrase "average fold difference" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in scientific or statistical contexts to describe the ratio of expression levels between two conditions or groups.
Example: "The average fold difference in gene expression between the treated and control samples was calculated to assess the treatment's effectiveness."
Alternatives: "mean fold change" or "typical fold variation".
These were positive calls by the software, presence of 10 consecutive probes pointing in the same direction, and 1.5 fold average fold difference in the test DNA compared to the reference DNA.
Significant differences in enrichment between PP3 and PP4 tumours were identified by calculating the average fold difference between the PP3 and PP4 normalized signal across all probes using the PGS ANOVA tool, and subsequent HMM region detection and gene annotation using the above mentioned parameters.
Genes from our dataset were ranked by their average fold difference in expression between OSE to CEPI.
The genes expressed at lower levels in CAD patients display more interindividual variation between patients and controls with an average fold difference in gene expression of -2.4.
We ordered these genes within each functional group based on the average fold difference between Plk4 wild-type and heterozygous MEFs.
However, as we observed with DNA methylation, the differences in expression of these probes between primary and xenograft were minimal with an average fold difference in expression between primary and xenograft tumours of 1.12 (Additional file 3: Figure S1B).
Heterogeneous patterns of proto-oncogene activation have been noted, and traditional approaches such as determining average fold differences, t-tests, and other techniques may fail to define significant alterations in expression for specific genes in high-throughput array approaches [14].
Average fold differences in the transcript levels were determined by comparison against the negative control transfection.
Average fold differences were calculated when multiple clones represented a transcript.
Average fold differences in the transcript levels are calculated via comparison to the negative control transfection.
Average fold differences were calculated for superoxide dismutase 2, mitochondrial and lactotransferrin, which are represented by multiple clones.
