The observed inconsistencies in colonisation of different bacterial groups in replicate diseased samples are corroborated by other studies in which the previously implicated specific bacterial pathogen for the coral disease investigated could not be detected (17, 46).
The genetic similarity observed among these samples was corroborated by results obtained in one-step curve and plaque phenotype assays, indicating that the three isolates were in fact from a single VACV strain that had circulated among different hosts during the BV outbreak in Mariana County.
The platelet source of TGF-β1 in our serum samples was corroborated, as expected (Supporting Fig. S3E,F).
However, the number of samples was adequate and the per-population tests were corroborated by testing large pooled populations.
These subjective estimates were corroborated by previously published intensive, quantitative sampling [ 50, 53].
Those answers were corroborated by the low sAA concentrations found in blood samples.
The findings were corroborated by the German Forensic Institute.
These findings were corroborated in this study.
Important findings were corroborated by alternative methods.
Only 113 (55.4%) were corroborated by nucleotide sequence.
