Quality criteria were applied to the genomic data based on per-sample and per-SNP call rates and Hardy Weinberg equilibrium testing.
All subjects were of self-reported white European ancestry, samples were excluded based on per-sample call rate, outlying autosomal heterozygosity, non-European ancestry, duplication and being closely related to another sample in the study.
Samples were excluded based on per-sample call rate, outlying autosomal heterozygosity, non-European ancestry, duplication and being closely related to another sample in the study; 802 samples were kept for eQTL analyses.
Samples were excluded based on per-sample call rate (Supplementary Material, Figs S9 S11), outlying autosomal heterozygosity (Supplementary Material, Figs S9 S11), inconsistent recorded and genotype-inferred sex, non-European ancestry (21) (Supplementary Material, Figs S12 S14), duplication and being closely related to another sample in the study.
Furthermore, although within-person variability in urinary concentrations of BPA exists (Arakawa et al. 2004; Mahalingaiah et al. 2007; Teitelbaum et al. 2007), concentrations based on one spot sample per person can be useful in calculating mean population concentration estimates in cross-sectional studies (CERHR 2007).
We used genetic data from [22] on 193 maize landrace accessions from across the Americas, based on one plant per sample and 99 SSR markers.
For the period 1990 to 1996, the estimated rate for lower respiratory infection office visits was 74.2/1000 population per year, based on about 40,000 sampled records per year nationally.
All samples were standardized by random subsampling to 1885 reads per sample (based on the smallest sample size by default), using the sub.sample command (http://www.mothur.org/wiki/Sub.sample), for calculating richness (OTUs at ≥99% sequence similarity), rarefaction curves, diversity and community compositional indices and matrices to be used later for the statistical analyses.
The peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) is basically the proportion of the power of the maximum possible intensity value in an image based on sample per bits to its mean square error expressed in logarithmic decibel scale.
Analyses based on the per-protocol sample yielded response rates of 43% (6 out of 14 participants) in the MBCT group and 7% (1 out of 14) in the TAU group.
