As we moved closer to the middle of the Gyre, the ratio got visibly higher, until we started pulling in samples that looked like they contained solely plastic.
The samples that looked the least degraded were used for microarray experiments.
From the obtained results in Fig. 5 and the results from 6 further samples that looked qualitatively similar (not shown), we attempted to estimate the optimal sequencing depth in the following two ways using the available sequencing depth of the samples used for our analysis (TNBC samples: 34974017, 46677107, 17574408, and 24440340; TNBC-free samples: 25900791, 43454785, 31426867, and 33517581).
Sample ballots that look exactly like the ballots voters will use at the polling place should be widely available.

On the end of the arm is a round sampler head that looks similar to an air filter in a car.
"When you see those images of Europa," Nordheim said, "with all those cracks and brownish-red material, the idea that we could actually go there and sample that and look for biosignatures and the composition of the ocean that's very appealing".
He has teamed up with scientists in Alaska to get swabs from the cloacas of migrating birds, and he is looking in those samples for flu viruses that look like the one from 1918.
In addition, studies with larger sample sizes and those that look at community-based populations, not just occupationally exposed workers, have sharpened the picture of the effects.
She added: "But from the sample that we looked at of 60 cases, in half of them we saw youth offending teams working very actively to maintain contact with their local families, local environment, so that raises the questions of whether the placement was in the child's best interests".
