Finally, when comparing among samples, this number was normalized by the sum across all samples, so that overrepresentation could be compared among different COGs.
In mutation carriers, the average number of chromosomal aberrations was 3.48±0.24 per mitosis, whereas in the control samples, this number was 1.62±0.33 at 6 days post-irradiation.
Given that the total number of N+ cardiomyocytes was just 35 (out of more than 4000 sampled), this number might simply be too small to clearly resolve potential differences in prevalence between GFP+ and GFP− myocyte subpopulations.
Despite small sample size, this number has been shown to provide a reasonable degree of power and precision when measuring postprandial glycemia (Brouns et al., 2005).
At the start of data collection, a randomly generated number between one and ten was used to determine which subject was sampled first; this number was then increased systematically by the sampling interval.
It was impractical to sample this equivalent number of events.
Using automated methods based on local curvatures of sampled boundaries, this number drops to around 14 s for AX3 cells in shallow gradient and 13 s in the absence of chemoattractant [ 28, 32].
We suggest that the implication is that, for this sample, the number of met needs would be a direct indicator of family involvement, whereas the number of unmet needs could possibly reflect family disengagement.
In this sample, the numbers of the MSSs for rings P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, and P6 were 3, 5, 42, 7, 10, and 33, respectively.
We checked for convergence of all parameters to an adequate effective sample size using this number of iterations using T racer version 1.5 (http://beast.bio.ed.ac.uk/).ac.uk/
