In the study of Cornejo et al. [ 10], they proposed a finite pan-genome for S. mutans, after they used a special "pseudogene cluster" identification process to exclude about 30% of the rare genes that are considered to be pseudogenes.
A criterion we suggest for meiotic gene identification is to exclude genes that are expressed at fourfold or greater in anthers versus meiocytes, although the gene expression level may be up-regulated in both meiocytes and anthers versus seedlings.
The requirement of G to be non-maximal, i.e., to be strictly smaller than the set of all true statements, is necessary to exclude the identification of G with the class of all truths.
Values of 10 and over are taken to be sufficient to exclude weak identification using the specified instrument (maternal C282Y).
To exclude biased identification as an explanation, we analyzed cases where one of the three mechanisms acts independently of the others.
*The Hospital Episodes Statistics identification (HESID) field was used to exclude repeat episodes relating to the same individual within a given financial year (running April to March).
Because typical predisposing factors were not apparent, pathogen identification resulted in expanded diagnostics to exclude a distant or contiguous primary focus.
Additionally, the identification of chronic liver disease, to exclude it from the analysis, was done based on a questionnaire, increasing the chance of underestimated NAFLD prevalence.
Thus, as a result of the unexpected pathogen identification, expanded diagnostics was performed to exclude a primary focus which led to diagnosis of previously unrecognized retropharyngeal abscess and cervical spondylodiscitis.
After pathogen identification, additional diagnostics was performed to exclude a primary focus of infection: Although a urine culture yielded an Escherichia coli strain having the same antimicrobial susceptibility pattern, the patient's past medical history was negative for urinary tract infection symptoms.
