Sequence variation analyses have been accepted to be a valid methodology for an accurate species description.
However, inclusion of second ranked genes, i.e., ELF-1A in liver and muscle, and RPL30 in spleen would be a valid normalization strategy with more accurate and reliable results for the treatments under consideration.
Hybridisation with probes derived from RNA extracted from grain at 6, 8, 10, 14, 21 and 28 dpa, revealed this to be a valid approach with the array being accurate at predicting both genic regions and novel inter-genic regions of transcription.
The results of these experiments suggest that MGBM is a valid and accurate approach.
For all four genes, the sites seen in the wild-type were identical in position and approximate abundance to sequences that may be found in EST databases (not shown), indicating that the approach is a valid and accurate estimation of poly(A) site profiles in these four genes.
MRI is recognised as a valid, accurate and reproducible tool to measure articular cartilage volume [ 38, 64].
MRI can visualize joint structure directly [ 8, 9] and has been recognized as a valid, accurate and reproducible tool to measure articular cartilage volume [ 9, 10].
The Yamax Digiwalker has been acknowledged as a valid, accurate and reliable pedometer to measure free-living step-counts in children [ 25].
MRI can visualize the joint structure directly [ 11] and has been recognized as a valid, accurate, and reproducible tool to measure the articular cartilage volume [ 11, 12], cartilage defects [ 13, 14], the tibial plateau bone area [ 12, 15], and bone marrow lesions [ 16, 17], which have been shown to have important roles in OA [ 12- 17, 17].
