Furthermore, although oceanic tides are known to exert an influence tens of kilometers away from the seashore (Beaumont and Berger 1975), the two wells we selected are located at distances greater than 100 km from the ocean.
As well as, we selected the sets identified by measures that are known to be good heuristics for seed set selection, namely degree and betweenness centrality [22].
To verify that the resulting database was correct, we ran FastBLAST on the combined set of sequences as well, and we selected top homologs for 2,000 genes using either FastBLAST database.
As all cultures tested in M4 were well differentiated, we selected medium M4 for further analysis.
To check whether these vectors work well in rice, we selected the empty vector pRHVnGFP for Agrobacterium-mediated rice transformation.
In order to facilitate comparison across labs as well as platforms, we selected a number of genes which are reliably annotated and targeted by a common set of probesets (see Methods).
In order to include in clustering analysis only well measured transcripts, we selected spots with a present call (identified transcripts with measurable expression) in at least 80% of experiments and being > 1.7 fold up- or down regulated in at least 5 experiments.
Of a number of well-characterized mutants, we selected three: R50A, N51A and R190X (Table 1).
We reviewed published interventions that focussed on changing known risk factors for cancer recurrence and improving physical well-being; those we selected were exercise, smoking, alcohol consumption, diet and the use of sun screens.
To test the method on well-established data, we selected a PD group with a relatively advanced stage of disease; this does not allow clear evaluation of the accuracy of the proposed method in the classification of earlier stages of the disease.
