Our choices were further guided by finding that the majority of the 37 genes were either not represented or not consistently detectable in DNA microarray assays of Hox transgenic cartilage (Kruger et al., manuscript in preparation).
The remainder were either not represented or gave poor signals on those microarrays, and to obtain data from these qRT-PCR was performed.
These genes were either not represented on the microarray or did not meet the criteria for candidate genes (either too few data points, fold changes less than 1.6, or not significant by ANOVA).
Among the available quality indicators for HIV, several critical points including linkage to care, ART eligibility, and ART preparations as well as important patient reported and clinical outcomes are either not represented, or are poorly represented.
A missing fold change value means that gene was either not represented by at least 2/3 spots and/or did not exhibit a coefficient of variation of at least 1 for that treatment across replicate arrays.
In addition, such differences in allele effects suggest that genomic selection for such alleles could be deleterious for breeds that are either not represented, or poorly represented, in the reference populations if allele effects in that population and the reference population have opposite directions.
Therefore, marker coverage of the genome was likely incomplete because some scaffolds were either not represented by ESTs and subsequently, SNPs; the SNPs failed because they were false; or they failed to be validated for various other reasons as was seen in this study (Additional file 1: Table S1) and previously [ 19].
We re-ran the analyses after excluding the 45 uninsured patients since some of the conditions were either not represented (severe hepatitis B) or have very few patients (acute hepatitis B, compensated cirrhosis, primary liver cancer) among uninsured patients (Table 2).
Comparison of PCROM to BRIDG found a significant overlap of concepts but also several areas important to research that were either not yet represented or represented quite differently in BRIDG [ 9].
This suggests that either SNPs do not represent QTL or that non-additive effects are important for the traits of interest in empirical studies, or a combination of both, which is important biological information.
