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:

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.
We hypothesize that other novel, high-scoring candidates with a similar level of third-species-conservation but which lack evidence of expression may in fact be genuine, thus implying up to 7/27 (26%) false-negative rate of northern analysis.
It is more relevant to optimize with respect to false-positive and false-negative rates.
Unlike GC content, the problem is clearly resolved by word counting with a threshold value of t = 0, and with statistical rigor, because false-positive and false-negative rates for a set of comparisons are readily computed from cumulative distributions of dissimilarity between two training sets.
This measurement technique is preferred because it has lower rates of false-positive and false-negative results than a spot urine microalbumin.
