Based on the experience from the UK trial, our Canadian sites had initial and ongoing training including quality checks to ensure adherence to the evidence-informed assessment and management protocol for either bandage.
Calibrating TEC measurements serves multiple purposes for us including quality checking (QC) of processed data, leveling the phase measurements using pseudoranges and comparing modeled TEC perturbations with measured ones.
The contract research organization will be responsible for the data management of this study, including quality checking the data, with Genentech performing oversight of the data management.
After obtaining the short reads, we performed a series of quality checks, including quality score evaluation using program HTSeq [ 22] and marking duplicate reads by using software SAMTools [ 23].
The collection of hospital data in Germany runs annually through a standardised technical process including several quality checks.
Thus, the rigors of data collection for research, including validation, quality checking, and reproducibility, are not inherent in the EMR-collected data.

These were a set of national supervision guidelines (which included data-quality checks), the Data Management Procedures Manual, the National DQA Protocol, and terms of reference for RDQA.
Automated data curation practices in BaMBa include basic data quality checks, for instance, on the taxonomic names against reference checklists such as WoRMS (32) and the Catalogue of Life (33) on the location species occurrences against known species ranges.
It is our recommendation to establish just such an analysis protocol to incorporate quality checks, include a reference cutoff range for each probe, and provide unequivocal scoring criteria for accurate interpretation of MLPA results.
