Similarly, only two LD cases were detected between D13S317/PENTA E and TH01/TPOX after exact tests (data not shown).
UBC was more stable than Rps 24 because the melting curve of Rps24 was not unimodal in all tests (data not shown).
The simplified Chumlea method was proposed by our team after several preliminary tests (data not shown), using the same equation but performing different measurements to better fit to ICU requirements (Fig. 1).
These results confirmed genotyping tests (data not shown) performed prior to initiating the study.
In the initial analysis, microarray hybridization and detection underwent rigorous reproducibility tests (data not shown).
This is a conservative measure, but does not alter the main conclusions from the ANOVA tests (data not shown).
We chose to use it for genome-wide HMMerThread searches, as it outperformed Threader3.5 in our tests (data not shown).
Further pairwise tests (data not shown) revealed that similar habitat types at different islands supported different types of benthic communities; however, benthic communities from similar habitats but different quadrants within a single island ecosystem did not differ substantially.
Besides, the neighbor-joining (NJ) tree based on Allele Sharing Distances (ASD) unambiguously separated individuals according to their population of origin (Figure 2) as confirmed when applying simple assignation tests (data not shown).
