In both cases we found no significant difference in the expression variance ratios for genes predicted to be more variable in A/J vs. B6 livers (t-test p>0.18 for both).
In two sets of genes, where expression levels were predicted to be more variable in either A/J or B6, we observed confirmation rates of 61% (34/56 genes) and 63% (17/27 genes) respectively (see Materials and Methods), and the two distributions of within-strain variance ratios were significantly different from one another (t-test p = 0.003).
If this observation holds for C. owczarzaki, the TE allele frequency spectrum can be predicted to be highly variable within the host population as most copies appear to be young.
In agreement with our previous studies, we find that those gene families predicted to be highly variable do in fact contain high numbers of SNVs per gene in our whole genome captured samples (Table 3).
Concurrent validity has been demonstrated using correlations between sexual victimization as measured with the SES and variables predicted to be affected or influenced by that victimization, for example, hostility toward men [ 73, 74].
For example, the pathogen-specific ≈145-kDa phase-variable protein identified by Rubin (15 ) can now be identified with some confidence as the intriguing TAA TabA1 (1 of few HaeBPF proteins predicted to be of this size and phase variable as a result of the SSR in the promoter region), enabling future investigations of its role in BPF virulence.
The product of circulation time and ribbon rotational speed is predicted to be a function only of geometric variables for Newtonian fluids in the viscous flow regime.
When continuous variables are predicted to be skewed (e.g. number of disclosures made), these can be tested using a two-sample Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
However, because emission levels and predicted water concentrations were known to be variable over the study period, peaking in the late 1990s, we feel that some of the annual increase as shown by the significance of years of residence is likely due to increasing exposures rather than to a steady state (Paustenbach et al. 2007).
