What's truly impressive about Hole in the Wall, given the inadvertent way in which human interest will contaminate almost any piece of broadcasting, is the complete exclusion of anything that might be classed as diverting.
Genotyping assays such as allele-specific PCR often only have sensitivity down to approximately 1% mutant DNA in a background of wild-type DNA [44], so wild-type copies of the gene of interest from contaminating WBCs co-isolated with CTCs might hamper detection of CTC-specific mutations.
The automatically selected mirror region of interest may be contaminated with cerebrospinal fluid space.
The signal of the voxel of interest may be contaminated with signals from other voxels, due to data reconstruction by the application of Fourier transform.
Politicians "can't politically make the jump to telling the public that they have to accept a certain amount of contamination," said Michael B. Moore, an environmental consultant from Vermont who is chairman of the Superfund task force of the National Ground Water Association, a professional group with a special interest in cleaning up contaminated sites.
To rule out the possibility that any sequences of interest came from contaminating bacterial or plant DNA, rather than the species for which a given genome had been sequenced, the DNA sequence of all fungal and oomycete LRR-containing genes was compared to the genome sequences of 1,337 species of bacteria and three species of higher plant using BLASTN [23].
Muscles were carefully anatomically isolated and utmost care was taken to excise only the muscle of interest free of contaminating other muscles or connective tissue.
This is a controllable process of input-output without noise, where the boundary spanner has no personal interests that may contaminate the information to be processed from A to B no subjectivity, no conflicting interest to mediate.
Clinical trials are often contaminated by conflicts of interest between the "investigators" and the drug maker.
