Contigs were collected into groups based on contig size (number of EST clones in a contig), and small contig groups (< 1000 contigs) were merged together with neighboring groups (similar in contig size) to make sure that there were at least 1000 contigs in each group.
The second group comprises the decay products or progeny of the primordial elements, which are collected into radionuclide groups known as decay series, including the 238U series, 232Th series and actinium series of radionuclides.
In the annotation guided approach all probe signals for each condition of an annotated gene were collected into two groups Xn and Ym.
Edges corresponding to a recombination frequency above a threshold (typically around 0.2) were removed and the resultant connected components were collected into linkage groups.
Consider the analysis of a gene expression experiment in which 200 genes are found to be significantly up or down-regulated and are collected into a group.
For each node, a Gini-optimal [50] split is chosen, so that data are collected into increasingly homogeneous groups down the tree, and thus the set of molecules assigned to each terminal leaf node will share similar values of the property being predicted.
The genotype of each recombination bin was represented by a bin marker, which was defined as a set of genetically linked SNPs of the same genotype that were collected into a single bin group with a physical position located in the middle of each recombination bin, which was used as a virtual bin marker to genotype the population.
In brief, when the fertility of the first opened flower of each MES-treated plant was visually detectable for male sterility, the main inflorescences of uniform plants in the MES-treated and mock-treated groups were collected into plastic bags and quickly transported to the laboratory on ice.
Approximately 2 ml of blood samples from each donor were collected into four pools, according to different blood groups (blood group A, B, O and AB).
For analysis of potential circulating metabolites, blood samples from the baseline group were collected into heparinized tubes and immediately stored on ice before processing.
