Accordingly, we summed levels of all three carotenoids to obtain total plasma carotenoid concentration.
The summed levels of the GFP-TDegFCdc28 and degFCdc28 were comparable with the Cdc28 levels expressed in BY4741 (wild type).
Summary statistics were calculated for individual PAHs, the summed concentration of PAHs not including FLO (ΣPAHs), and summed levels of carcinogenic PAHs (ΣC-PAHs), which included FLA, CHR, BAA, BBF, BKF, BAP, IPY, and DBA.
In the two Culicinae analyzed here this ratio remained close to one-to-one, although interestingly, Orco abundance in the antennae appears proportionally higher than the summed levels of tuning OR in both Ae. aegypti (1.40) and in T. amboinensis (1.30).
ExChange efficiency was estimated by calculating the ratio between levels obtained for repaired transcripts (E24-F & E24-R) and whole dystrophin minigene transcripts, approximated by summing levels of non-repaired transcripts (E23-F & E23-R) plus the repaired subset (E24-F & E24-R).
The current sample of 118 patients included 2 patients whose baseline values of summed score level, mean level and total number of reference items exceeded slightly those of the patient from the pilot sample (see also Appendix).
Importantly, compared to ordinal-level or nominal-level summed scores, interval-level measurement properties allow for making more accurate interpretations on the relative distance between scores on the scale of a measure [ 12].
The sum of squared deviations for all observations within each level fromthat level mean summed across all levels is given by SST E = ∑ i = 1 4 ∑ j = 1 32 x ij − μ i 2 Open image in new window (8).
To compare total expression levels for each gene category, we summed expression levels across the three VMN or H sample groups for expressed genes (tissue sum > 0).
As the duplicated genes share a high degree amino acid identity, we summed expression levels from both copies to compare total NFS1 and NFS2 mRNA accumulation.
