In blastocysts derived from the two-cell parthenotes with unevenly-sized blastomeres, no biased contribution was found in the progeny of either blastomere.
Inclusion of all STEC isolates would have given a biased contribution of the different parameters due to overrepresentation of isolates involved in outbreaks.
Some studies have also showed a parent-specific expression dominance in the synthetic allohexaploid wheat transcriptome, involving a biased contribution from the AB (tetraploid) genome parent [ 43, 45], though others have not detected any genome dominance [ 44].
In the tissues that have been studied in Gossypium and Arabidopsis, it appears that both species demonstrate biased parental contributions to the transcriptome, however, in Gossypium these biases can favor either parental genome, whereas in Arabidoposis only the A. arenosa parent has demonstrated dominance.
ICs are based on singular value decomposition and have an interpretation in terms of bias contributions of an interaction on the estimation of the overall mean.
We demonstrate why bias contributions should also be included in AAR uncertainty estimation and recommend that the preparation of defined reference materials are seen as a priority in order to control and correct for systematic error influences in the analytical system.
However, the mass-bias contributions by instrumental mass discrimination and laser-induced elemental fractionation need to be determined independently.
The results also indicated that the tracer discriminatory weighting should be excluded as it tends to bias contribution estimates.
We see that the width of the distribution is smaller with the sex-biased contributions, despite equality of the total contributions s1,0 and s2,0.
This analysis uncovers a counterintuitive case in which female-biased or male-biased contributions in the same direction occur both from Africans and from Europeans in a manner consistent with estimated mean X-chromosomal and autosomal admixture fractions in African-Americans, rather than an African female bias and a European male bias.
