Sentence examples for qualitative specificity from inspiring English sources

In addition to recording qualitative specificity profiles, data provided by the system can be analyzed quantitatively, yielding specificity constant values.

The regulatory sequences that play a role in the qualitative specificity of gene expression have been intensely studied.

For BacCow and BacHum the 25th/75th metrics were 0.4 and 0.7 log units, respectively; for BacR it was larger than 1.6 log units, giving BacR not only the highest qualitative specificity but also the clearest separation of false-positive and true-positive signals.

For example it becomes even more evident that although BoBac might have similar numbers of false-positives as the BacCow assay (qualitative specificity) the concentrations of BoBac in false-positive nontarget samples are much higher than those of BacCow (quantitative specificity).

BacR showed the highest qualitative specificities in most subgroups with some false-positives from dog samples.

The ruminant-targeted assays BacCow and BoBac showed qualitative specificities of 57% and 59%, respectively, while the specificity of the BacR assay was higher at 84%.

BoBac had the lowest levels of qualitative source-specificity of all assays in the subgroups of carnivores and birds.

The qualitative source-specificities of the human-targeted assays were 53% for BacH and 68% for BacHum (Table 1).

Qualitative source-specificity was defined as the percentage of nontarget samples not detected by qPCR (all signals <1 copy per reaction; true-negatives) (Table 1).

Interestingly, the qualitative source-specificities determined in this study were found to be consistently lower than those reported in the original publications, conducted at a local or regional level.

Although qualitative source-specificity and -sensitivity provide a general indication of assay performance based on the presence/absence of specific markers, they give no information concerning the relative abundance of those markers in such sources.
