To characterize reading deficits in infantile nystagmus (IN), to determine optimal font sizes for reading in IN, and to investigate whether visual acuity (VA) and severity of nystagmus are good indicators of reading performance in IN.
Slow reading speed in the absence of an accuracy problem is also evident from the additional reading measures in Table 3 which characterize reading aloud lists of words and pseudowords with increasing difficulty (time-limit: one minute).
Instead, they characterize reading as a process that (among other things) "requires the active construction of new meanings, contextualization, and the inferring of authorial intentions" (p. 229).
Slow reading speed in the absence of an accuracy problem is also evident from the additional reading measures in Table 1 which characterize reading aloud lists of words and pseudowords with increasing difficulty (time limit: 1 min).
To characterize reads corresponding to transcripts with pseudo-templated nucleotides on their 5′ ends, reads were first aligned by Bowtie with a seed of 25 nt and allowing no mismatches.
To better examine coverage of repetitive element subfamilies along the full length of the elements we built RepConsensus, an extension of previous efforts to characterize read coverage with respect to a consensus element with added visualization tools [ 12].
Combined with characterized gene reads, 1,233,908 reads were gene-related reads, accounting for 10.3% of the total reads.
A depth frequency distribution of SOLiD or Solexa reads mapped to characterized gene reads approximates an extreme value distribution [ 34].
The Results section is impossible to understand (for example, small RNA clusters are not defined or characterized) without reading the Methods first.
The first objective is the assignment (annotation) of Roche 454 reads of a single genotype to three categories: (1) characterized gene reads, (2) characterized repeats, and (3) uncharacterized reads.
