In a first step, we hypothesised and probed variables (confounders) that may be associated both with being born with an OFC (subgroups analysed separately) and with prescription of psychotropic drugs.
As a measurement of importance of the 909 selected probes, variable importance of projection (VIP) values were calculated using the R library plsVarSel.
Oxygen is a key metabolic variable influencing many different biological phenomena; however, current tools to probe this variable are either crude, inefficient, or have not changed since the dawn of cell culture techniques.
The functional groups, present on the modified electrode surfaces, were identified using cyclic voltammetry and ferricyanide ions, an electrochemical probe, at variable pH values.
Along the same lines, we observed that one and the same RBD probe exhibits variable potencies for blocking different events downstream of oncogenic Ras.
Yet, extending MixClone to whole exome sequencing data is not trivial, as reads coverage on targeted exonic regions are no longer randomly distributed due to probe's variable efficiency [ 21].
Single cells were mechanically stimulated by indentation with the atomic force microscopy probe with variable force load either resulting in membrane deformation only, or leading to membrane penetration and micro-injury.
We therefore proceeded to rescan the resection bed with the hand-held scanner by tilting the probe at variable angles to assess the lateral walls of the resection bed.
We first consider the situation where the complete data from a microarray experiment consists of three terms: the observed probe intensities, biological variables and adjustment variables.
(a) Northern blots for miRNAs using biotin-labeled probes and variable amounts of total RNA from Arabidopsis leaves.
