Words similar to false-positive

Example sentences for: false-positive

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

We did not pre-filter for low-complexity regions, and 101 genes were left out of the test set because of missing UTR information, so the real false-positive rate is most likely to be lower.
If we want to have only one expected false-positive result from testing each of 1,176 non-differentially expressed genes, the gene-specific (or test-specific) Type I error rate is = 1/1176 = 0.09%.
However, in one test, around 5% of randomly selected C. elegans genomic sequences were found to have the capacity to fold into plausible miRNA precursor hairpins [ 11 ] . This suggests that computational prediction of miRNAs based on presumed structure alone would have an unacceptably high false-positive rate.
The use of a higher criterion (that is, threefold) excluded some genes, such as those for MCP-1 and ICAM-1, which are known to be regulated in the acute phase of allergen challenge [ 15, 16]; on the other hand, a lower criterion, such as twofold, increased the probability of false-positive genes and lack of confirmation by RT-PCR (see Validation of the microarray gene expression, below).
The cloning process might generate false-positive or false-negative results because of the cloned sequences being recognized out of the context of the surrounding genomic sequences.
