It is practically impossible to rid the legal process of biases driven by race, class and politics.
In addition, consistency across studies and transparency is ensured by the very structured and systematic process of bias-adjustment.
The process of bias-adjustment, at the heart of this method, relies on expert opinion and might be considered to be somewhat subjective.
We use the term "source switching" to refer to the process of biasing the cognitive system towards one of these two types of information.
It was made evident that WGD is often followed by a genome-wide process of biased fractionation that preferentially targets one sub-genome to retain clusters of dose-sensitive genes often organized in functional modules [ 57– 57].
It is known that polyploidy is succeeded by a genome-wide process of biased fractionation, preferentially targeting one subgenome to retain clusters of dose-sensitive genes organized in functional modules (Thomas et al. 2006).
Comparative mapping studies identified a putative ancestral karyotype of the current Arabidopsis and Brassica genomes, with 24 conserved chromosomal blocks, as well as an on-going process of biased gene loss called gene fractionation in three subgenomes of B. rapa[ 1, 3].
In this process risk of bias assessment is a key component.
These results suggest that N2pc and Ptc components may index distinct processes of biased competition N2pc reflecting visual competitive interactions and Ptc reflecting a bias in processing necessary to individuate task-relevant stimuli.
Together these results suggest that the process of removing bias against membrane proteins resulted in decreased over-representation of some unrelated gene categories, as discussed above.
The evaluation process of the bias and power of studies is displayed in Additional file 1: ESM 3. Data were prepared in Microsoft Access 2010 and analysed in Stata version 11.0.
