Example sentences for: confounded

How can you use “confounded” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • The effects of R and S alleles appear as effects of heterozygosity vs. homozygosity because heterozygotes and homozygotes will in general carry different distributions of S and R alleles; thus, in an analysis that fails to condition on the alleles carried, heterozygosity is confounded with the alleles carried.

  • Hence, analysis is not confounded by uneven aminosilane coating in different batches of slides, inconsistencies in the array resulting from different print sessions, differences in day-to-day label incorporation, or variations in day-to-day hybridization and wash procedures.

  • Although Affymetrix Chips can each measure the expression of over 12,000 genes and ESTs, the true transcript level is confounded by a substantial amount of noise and variability induced by both the large number of observations and the wide range of gene expression values [ 7 ] . Microarrays are sensitive to noise from many sources including the manufacturing process and the experimental (RNA isolation, labeling, hybridization, staining, washing and scanning) processes.

  • As the level of hospital competition has not changed during the period (the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) remained stable in all markets), this test is limited to the change in the nature of competition and is not confounded by the impact of changes in the level of competition on resource allocation decisions.

  • The prediction of poly(A) sites can be confounded by misannealing of the oligo(dT) primers used for reverse transcription; for example, the presence of multiple adenines within the 3' UTR can be mistaken for a poly(A) site.
