The fact that different sequence sets from the same BAC - although both being representative for the sequenced clone - required different parameters for yielding a 'best' assembly, suggested that experimental and stochastic conditions like fragmentation profile, library representativeness and sequence length distribution influenced the outcome of the assemblies.
In this study, not only concentration levels but also their representativeness on the profile of the major fatty acid groups (PUFA, MUFA and SAFA) is consistent with previous mussel studies (King et al. 1990; Freites et al. 2002b; Orban et al. 2002).
To investigate fungi-centered gene distribution and ensure representativeness of sequence profiles, sequences that are partial or from other kingdoms were discarded, hence 1,344 fungal protein sequences were chosen for building 22 sequence profiles, including five subfamilies (Table 1).
Although this represents a relative non-invasive approach, questions remain as to the representativeness of serum miRNA profiles in solid cancers, given that this approach fails to identify miRNAs commonly found in lung cancer tissues.
In order to check for representativeness, the age and sex profile of respondents was compared with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain's (RPSGB) register of pharmacists based in England [ 17], and their role compared with those reported in the RPSGB's 2003 census [ 11], using χ2 tests.
After analyzing them we find no clear indications of a significant representativeness error in electron density profiles due to the spherical assumption above 120 km height.
Almost identical clusters are obtained when clustering the tissue meta-profiles of human or rat data, revealing a high representativeness of the data [ 15].
The sociodemographic profile of participants will be compared with census data to assess representativeness.
This suggests non-representativeness of the sample in relation to the health workforce profile in Vietnam.
Although, representativeness is not necessarily the goal of purposive random sampling, for comparison purposes, the demographic profile of the 2011 Western Australian population has also been included.
