Specifically, we first propose a simple F-test-based procedure for identifying DV genes from large microarray datasets, and compare our method with a number of more robust variants using simulated data (here 'robust' is used to mean resistant to the effect of outliers).
Over recent years several efforts have been reported to identify and construct algae strains with improved light conversion efficiency rates (PCE rates) [ 9- 16] as well as more robust variants surviving elevated and fluctuating light conditions, which is crucial for establishing efficient outdoor cultivation [ 8, 17- 19].
Swapping the identities of nearby residues between these two isoforms generated more robust PrxII variants and also more sensitive PrxIII variants, although again it was the presence of the C-terminal YF positions that was most critical to promoting sensitivity.
However, more robust LBP variants were not considered in that work.
However, only the original LBP operator was tested with the proposed strategy in[17], while more robust LBP variants can be used for improving the overall performance.
The study provides numerical evidences of how the performance of a well-known metaheuristic technique (BB-BC) can significantly be improved through simple yet effective modifications in its formulation to achieve a more robust and reliable variant (EBB-BC).
Virtually all recent applications have used the more robust time stratified variant, with strata being months or day-of-week within month [ 1].
However, dispersion tests would be expected to be more robust to neutral variants, or to those with opposite directions of effect on the trait.
The discovery of genetic variations that influence miRNA expression (and thus the expression of mRNA targets) facilitates a genomic annotation approach that is likely to lead to more robust associations between variants and complex human phenotypes.
One would expect that additional cycles of molecular evolution in GFP insertion vectors with increasing stringency would likely produce a more robust and soluble Rv2911 variant.
