We first examined the effect of upstream parameters: genome features (size and repeated elements prevalence) and AFLP parameters (number of selective bases, GC content) on homoplasy.
We first examined the effect of genome features such as size and repeated elements prevalence and AFLP parameters (number of selective bases, GC content) on homoplasy at the intra-individual level (i.e. co-migrating fragments within a peak).
It needs to be decomposed into its two elements, exposure prevalence and attributable fraction among the exposed: only the latter tells how much an exposure under consideration accounts for the disease (assuming causality is established), hence how worth it may be to look for other causes as well.
Such ROC curves have become a widely used to "validate" new tests, but too often this neglects a critical third element: incidence, or prevalence, which must be appreciated.
The perceived appropriateness of every model for hospitals is only one element influencing the prevalence of one approach over another [ 2, 3].
"Here time is tested by tide, architecture by the elements, and the prevalence of sky seems to question the earth's substance.
Assessing the potential population benefit of a health intervention requires consideration of many elements including disease prevalence and population characteristics, effectiveness and cost [ 1].
The four persistent profiles that were observed in isolates from all time periods clustered within Clade I with 68% similarity, suggesting that they may share common properties for longitudinal transmission and that these properties are different and unlinked from elements conferring highest prevalence.
We show that these elements have a high prevalence throughout all populations, and that gene evolution within the elements is not congruent with the rest of the genomes.
In this paper, we describe 27 novel porcine repetitive elements and estimate their prevalence in swine and other species.
