Although Tarbase does not represent a non-biased list of microRNA targets, it is interesting to compare our list of 2+DB microRNA interactions to those present in their database.
To further account for recall bias, lists of possible services were presented (e.g., every outpatient service was addressed specifically in the questionnaire).
Some major risks of bias listed in Cochrane reviews (adequacy of randomisation, concealment of treatment allocation, blinding of the outcome assessor, ITT-analysis) [ 10] were present in the majority of studies.
However, the high percentage of DAE that we observe in out study is likely to be biased by our list of candidate genes, and will not necessarily correspond to the percentage of DAE genome-wide for any of the tissues we studied.
It is well known that there is a real logistical difficulty that consists in combating at least one of the potential biases listed above.
Loci that showed maternal or paternal preference when a particular strain was the parent were determined by intersecting lists from each cross (e.g., intersect Col-Ler maternal biases with Col-Cvi maternal biases to generate a list of loci that are maternally biased when Col is the female parent).

While Facebook officially denies conservative bias, the resulting list of what it considers reputable and national press would appear to lend weight to Gizmodo's claims of bias.
Prior to performing large scale microarray gene expression studies using RNA amplification, it is important to address the question as to whether the enzymatic modification of the RNA introduces a systematic bias to the list of differentially expressed genes.
