To assess the validity of this approach, we corroborated the positively correlated expression levels of interacting miRNAs and mRNAs (i.e., mmu-let-7 vs. Syt11 and mmu-let-7 vs. Tom1) by qPCR.
The first question asked if the journals made any efforts to positively corroborate the credibility of COI disclosures, especially when the authors of a paper stated that they had no COI to declare.
These results are positively corroborating with some of our earlier findings where the exogenous application of GA3 resulted in decrease in the cycloartenol synthase at translational level resulting in the decline of withanolide content [ 20].
Second, the GO RT distribution of the high motivation condition was less positively skewed, which corroborated the expectation suggested by a previous computational model11.
We observed, however, a clear reduction in the number of positively labeled cells, which was corroborated through a quantitative analysis, as shown in Table 3.
Single cell analysis corroborated that elevated levels of PERP protein positively influenced the transcription level of MDM2, which was p53 dependent.
The finding that activity in LMPFC is positively correlated with time on task is strongly corroborated by a recent analysis of BOLD data showing such positive correlation in a large group of subjects (N = 252; Yarkoni et al. 2009).
Other studies (notably, a large 2010 Gallup poll) have corroborated this finding, suggesting that happiness tends to be positively linked with age.
No positively selected site was found and the mean Dn/Ds ratio corroborated the existence of neutral selection.
Similarly, KRAS and KRAS1P transcript levels were found to be positively correlated, corroborating that pseudogene functions mirror the role of their cognate genes as explained by the miRNA decoy mechanism.
This interpretation has been corroborated by neuroimaging data showing hyperactivity of the ACC in OCD patients which was positively correlated with symptom severity [58], [59].
