If we're so bad at prediction, and yet it is so essential to science, it seems like we need more research into it rather than less.
We characterised it as CNS because it contains no homology to protein coding sequences, and no open reading frame could be detected by means of gene prediction algorithms and yet it is highly conserved at the DNA level to rice genomic sequences.
More and higher quality data should lead to improved hypothesis testing and predictions, yet as the quantity and quality of the reporting data improve, predictions are needed less.
Whenever a hike in the minimum wage has been proposed, the same tired arguments and dire predictions are trotted out, and yet the economy just continues to hum along after the deed is done.
And yet these predictions of horror (generously compiled by Sam Bell, an adviser to the progressive economic advocacy group Fed Up) never materialized.
These models differ in their assumptions and their treatment of key processes, making it difficult to describe them and their predictions briefly yet accurately; we will therefore discuss differences and the extent of experimental support for the various assumptions later.
Now, after its new survey of all the English regions for Education Guardian, this prediction is already approaching 4,300 – and yet this relates to just 63 colleges, around a fifth of the total.
And yet those algorithmic predictions are not borne out by evidence.
And yet, the apocalyptic predictions of some newspapers and politicians have not so far been borne out in the period since the financial crisis.
We omitted post-translational and other regulatory mechanisms and yet the model predictions were consistent with experimental data.
