In addition, assessment of student performance, as well as recommendations for future modifications, are presented to provide a focused, targeted assignment with the potential to be adapted and implemented in a variety of teaching and learning environments.
Due to the scarcity of experimentally-verified results, microRNA:target assignments are largely derived from computational predictions.
Students completed targeted writing assignments in which they practiced applying the incremental theory to reconstrue a variety of social adversities, such as exclusion, rejection, and aggression.
For the 851 miRNAs included in the database, we set the p-value to 0.001 to include only the most confident predicted miRNA-target assignments.
After determining the correct assignment for each spectrum, four other (incorrect) "target" assignments were also generated.
The correlations were calculated for each pair, and the resulting fraction of negative correlations was tested against random target assignments.
An implemented scoring function (S-score) was used to score target assignments by counting the target annotation frequency in the nearest neighborhood of query compounds.
