However, in some cases pedigree-based prediction performed similarly or outperformed marker-based prediction.
The carotenoid QTL-targeted marker set also outperformed markers within ±250 kb of eight genes randomly selected from the other 50 a priori candidate genes represented in the pathway-level prediction set (2.709-fold 2.709-foldrence; paired t = 10.21, d.f. = 23, P-value = 2.59 × 10−10).
However, there are 6 SMP responses where expression-based prediction outperforms marker-based prediction by 10% or more.
Additionally, in cases where transcript-based prediction outperforms marker-based prediction by at least 10%, the average LOD score is 5, while in the reverse case it is 8.5.
In conclusion, SSR markers outperformed RFLP markers in terms of discriminatory power in cluster analyses and assignment tests.
The combination of BST2 and CEA outperformed each marker alone in distinguishing CRC patients from healthy individuals.
In this case, the panel of eight outlier loci correctly assigned 92.9% of 2010 individuals to ecotype and outperformed other marker types in MC analyses (Table 4), levels on par to those revealed by simulation approaches based on the 2007 baseline alone (Table 3).
Finally, both markers were equally effective for group discrimination and phylogenetic studies, but SSR markers tended to outperform RFLP markers in discriminating the source of an individual among diversity groups and in putative hybrid detection.
We addressed the hypothesis that multi-parameter estimates of cell-cycle phenotype would outperform single-marker assays as predictors of outcome by including markers expressed differentially during cell cycle in a multivariate analysis.
The authors report that nuclear encoded genes (exons) outperform mitochondrial markers in resolving deep splits.
This finding is noteworthy as it shows that careful morphological assessment by an experienced pathologist outperforms immunohistochemical markers in this respect.
