Example sentences for: false-negative

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

  • For instance, considering the intersection (or union) of genes predicted by either method would minimize the false-positive (or false-negative) rates.

  • Conservation alone is an insufficient criterion for assessing the validity of a miRNA [ 46 ] . Indeed, one high-scoring candidate (number 78, 2L:13233310 that is strongly conserved in Anopheles and was identified by miRseeker appears to be an unannotated U2 snRNA [ 43 ] . Nevertheless, our high success rate (20/27) leads us to believe that failure to observe expression of a high-scoring, third-species-conserved miRseeker candidate could reflect a false-negative result.

  • It is more relevant to optimize with respect to false-positive and false-negative rates.

  • Of the remaining candidates, around 36% may be genuine, although this rises to a maximum of approximately 62% if one considers the inferred false-negative rate of northern analysis.

  • Large-scale production of RNA in situ data is prone occasionally to produce false-negative results due to failures in probe production and hybridization.
