Sentence examples for discovery scans from inspiring English sources

The p-values for rs1801282 in the three studies were 0.019, 0.0013, and 0.0014, none of which coming close to traditional genome wide significance levels (in fact, in one of the discovery scans the index SNP had a p value of 0.83).

To pinpoint interaction sites down to the base-pair level, we introduce a computational method, Motif Discovery scan (MDscan), that examines the ChIP-array-selected sequences and searches for DNA sequence motifs representing the protein-DNA interaction sites.

We applied Motif Discovery scan [44] methodology using the 30 top ranked Atf1/Pcr1 binding sequences to determine the binding motifs and using the next 30 top ranked Atf1/Pcr1 binding sequences to refine the motifs.

To determine DNA-binding motif(s) that was enriched at the Atf1/Pcr1 binding sites, we performed the motif-discovery scan [44] using the 150bps sequence located at the apexes (see Materials and Methods).

The motif-discovery scan showed that the DNA binding sequence represented by the position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM) (Figure 2D) or the logo (Figure 2E) was the most enriched DNA binding motif in the identified Atf1/Pcr1 binding sites.

DXA (Hologic, Discovery QDR4500A) scans were acquired to determine BMD at the lumbar spine (L1-L4) and proximal femur (femoral neck and total hip), for descriptive purposes.

The meta-analysis of stage 1 discovery genome scans of macronutrient intake showed modest deviation from the expected distribution of P values under the null hypothesis, particularly for protein intake (see Supplemental Figure S1 under "Supplemental data" in the online issue).

Netea and his colleagues made their discovery by scanning almost 200,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), or short segments of DNA that vary among people.

The SIM scan is for discovery purposes, as SIM scans can provide the increased ion statistics required for Xtract to discover new targets.

This is useful if you're using a data discovery tool to scan a server volume or folder.

After an uptake phase of 18F-FDG of approximately 60 min, a combined whole body PET/CT scan (Discovery LS; GE Healthcare) was performed.
