The approach presented here is specifically designed to quantify selective reporting from such combined datasets.
To further confirm this speculation, we performed an assay designed to quantify microtubule kinetochore interactions [44].
In any case, this result is only qualitative: the present study was not designed to quantify individual differences.
We used a method adapted from perfusion methodology designed to quantify oxygen use by cells under microscopy [33].
All primers used for qPCR in this study were designed to quantify dominant and sub dominant species as suggested by pyrosequencing approach.
A second experiment conducted in two biogas systems was designed to quantify the biochemical inactivation of schistosome ova in biogas chambers.
The present study was designed to quantify the degree to which polytomies in phylogenetic trees influence measures of phylogenetic diversity and dispersion in communities.
The second section of this study was designed to quantify the sensitivity of two commonly used phylogenetic dispersion metrics (NRI and NTI) to phylogenetic resolution.
The Human Early Access Release Kit (based on miRBase v 9.2; TaqMan® MicroRNA Assay; Applied Biosystems) designed to quantify 321 mature human miRNAs was used.
In order to overcome this technical problem, LNA-containing primers were designed to quantify these hard to amplify miRNAs (mmu-miR-146b, -29b and -29c).
Eight loci were selected based on coverage depths observed in 454-FLX libraries of SAGs A and B. Specific primers were designed to quantify these loci, while primers matching 454-FLX adapter sequences were used to quantify the entire library.
