Replicates have not been averaged, as between-array standardization has not been performed, save for the case of CNV comparisons, where three replicates of each platform are comparable without standardization and the improved signal-to-noise allows for acceptable clarity with so few probes.
To provide some more clarity on his intentions, I probed Khodorkovsky on whether he had political aspirations in the early 2000s.
Ten fieldworkers, four male and six female, were trained in a three-day course entailing lectures on the interview process, i.e. introduction of the interview, mode of asking questions, accurate recording of responses, and the use of probes to seek clarity.

This list of probes contained duplicate probes for the same gene symbol and so was trimmed to include only one representative probe per gene symbol, both for clarity and due to space constraints.
