Indeed, so much so that some other potentially first class candidates, including current Vice-President Joe Biden, may decide not to even enter the race.
"There's always a chance because we've got a first-class candidate, it's an open contest and we're fighting for every vote," he said.
Twelve out of 18 (67%) first-class candidate mutations were confirmed in the cell-line DNA, and 0/5 (0%) second-class candidate mutations were confirmed.
Now, however, they could make such a statement only if they were willfully ignorant of the dozen or more first-class candidates who are available.
First, relaxing the candidate-mutation filters to include second-class candidates did not identify any additional mutations (Table 2).
To define the second-class candidates, we relaxed the parameters for DFNY1-66 candidate SNP calling to include uniqueness less than 5 and coverage more than 1×.
The second class of candidate distributions, i.e., conventional distributions, includes five conventional pdfs: multivariate Laplace (MLD), multivariate Gaussian (MGD), and three multivariate Gaussian Laplace mixtures (MGLD).
Finally, JAFFA flags a fourth class of candidates 'Potential Regular Transcript', which appear to be novel transcripts between adjacent genes [ 28].
These first two categories speak for themselves, though it's worth noting that (prior to his very public wooing by the establishment Goldsmith) a poet like Steve Roggenbuck seemed a particularly likely candidate for this second class of author.
We argue that, given the large amount of predictions that fall in the first class, predictions from the second class should be considered as promising candidates for further studies.
Candidates must have a first or upper second class honors degree or an equivalent qualification.
