CTS was designed for metabolite annotation and emphasizes coverage, whereas UniChem was designed for automatic database cross-referencing and emphasizes specificity.
The committee agreed to emphasize specificity rather than sensitivity.
As before, the Bayes-CRE predictions emphasize specificity over sensitivity.
Two approaches to stroke case-identification based on ICD9-CM codes were used, one emphasized sensitivity and the other emphasized specificity.
We emphasized specificity in our algorithm in order to facilitate the identification of the highest confidence pseudogenes and candidate ceRNAs for further analysis.
Despite the fact that the AHRQ PSI were designed to "emphasize specificity over sensitivity", we found significant numbers of false positives for some of the PSIs.
We chose this exposure definition to emphasize specificity over sensitivity, as recommended by Kromhout and Vermeulen (2001) for rare exposures in order to minimize bias from exposure misclassification.
Two different approaches for stroke case-identification were considered, one that emphasized sensitivity and one that emphasized specificity, and with both approaches we replicated our analyses after excluding participants who self-reported pre-baseline stroke histories.
Emphasizing the specificity of the TLR4 knock-down, stimulation with the specific ligand for nucleotide oligomerization domain-1, a related intracellular receptor, was not altered by transfection with TLR4-specific siRNA compared to cells that received the control siRNA (Fig. 6).
Thus, this sensitive system allowed detection of specific and transient protein protein interactions in response to external stimuli, further emphasizing the specificity of the InCell SMART-i technology inside live cells.
