In this study, we compared one corresponding tissue based method and three co-expression based methods for assessing conservation of gene expression, in terms of their pair-wise agreements, using a frequently used human-mouse tissue expression dataset.
The reliability of co-expression based methods for assessing cross-species conservation of gene expression may be greatly affected by the inclusion of fast evolving genes as references, as suggested by Tirosh and Barkai [13].
The use of DNA based methods for assessing biodiversity has become increasingly common during the last years.
Since multiparametric flow cytometric analysis gives precise, reproducible, and accurate information regarding cell function at a single-cell level, the validity of growth based methods to assess cell viability has been questioned [ 58].
Using a DSC based method for assessing the anchoring stability of alkylated compounds in liposomes, it was demonstrated that the MTX-analogue partitioned into the water phase and thereby became available for cell uptake.
However, we would like to emphasize that the goal of this paper was to test the correlation between two TEE-based methods of assessing cardiac filling and contractility.
Limitations of visual and area-based methods of assessing breast density, such as subjectivity, variations in density with breast compression and X-ray exposure and the time involved in visual assessment of mammograms have led to interest in automated, volumetric methods of breast density.
In dentistry, the most commonly used comprehension-based methods of assessing oral health literacy include the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (TOHFLA) [ 17], the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Dentistry (TOHFLiD) [ 18] or the Oral Health Literacy Instrument (OHLI) [ 19].
On one hand, the rapid rate of asexual reproduction led some to suggest that clonal diversity would be very low due to past, strong selective sweeps of the population, and low clonal diversity was indeed observed using early protein-based methods of assessing variation (e.g. Gallagher 1980).
(iv) A method to assess the significance of each detected individual is proposed—We proposed a simulation based method to assess the significance of detecting influential individuals, and confirmed that this method is approximately valid (i.e., controlling false positives) in the case of the single marker analysis.
