Heme iron intake was computed by two methods, using different proportions for heme iron from different types of meat: 69% for beef; 39% for pork, ham, bacon, pork-based luncheon meats, and veal; 26% for chicken and fish; 21% for liver, according to Balder et al (2006), and, alternatively, using 40% as the average proportion of heme iron in all meats, according to Lee et al (2004).
Haem iron intake was computed by two methods, using different proportions for haem iron from different types of meat: 69% for beef; 39% for pork ham, bacon, pork-based luncheon meats, and veal; 26% for chicken and fish; and 21% for liver, following Balder et al (2006), and, alternatively, using 40% as the average proportion of haem iron in all meats, following Lee et al (2004).
Using the MADI model, the average proportion of phenotypic variance explained by imprinting effects was 0.103.
The 69,574 genes were assembled into 5205 phamilies (phams) of related sequences using kClust, and the average proportions of shared phams calculated.
We used these data to estimate the average proportion of each species in the landings for each 25-year-long period (Materials and Methods S1).
Dunn et al. and Motomura et al. used the average of the methylation proportion of multiple CpG sites (CpG51 - CpG62, Dunn et al.; CpG2 - CpG16, Motomura et al).
For each case study, we report the average proportion of wild fish used in the breeding program.
This was performed using PLINK v 1.01 (http://pngu.mgh.harvard.edu/purcell/plink/), where the average proportion is reported as Dst.
The weights we used to compute the composite paper quiz score were the average proportion of questions across nine quizzes on each Bloom's level.
The same procedure is performed for the average proportion of land-use types and for the NDVI series with the aim of finding coherent groups of counties to unify them into larger, cumulative samples.
