Example sentences for: hypergeometric

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

  • Half of these genes have confirmed roles in sulfur-utilization processes, such as methionine metabolism, sulfate assimilation, sulfate transport and sulfur amino acid metabolism [ 42 ] . Compared to the rest of the genome, the group of genes that conserved both of these words within their TCRs was highly enriched for sulfur-utilization genes (hypergeometric p -value < 1 × 10 -16, after Bonferroni correction for multiple testing).

  • Note that Rand and FM are linear functions of Z , and hence are linear functions of one another, conditional on the row and column sums in Table 1. If the row and column sums in Table 1are fixed, but the partitions are selected at random; that is, if there is independence in the table, the hypergeometric distribution can be applied to determine the expected value of quantities such as Z . In particular

  • Genes were assigned to each cluster using an empirically chosen membership cutoff of 0.06 or 0.08, and the probability of observing the number of genes in each cluster that contained one or more copies of each transcription factor binding site was calculated, based on the hypergeometric distribution (see Materials and methods).

  • This group of 30 genes contained eight ergosterol biosynthesis genes; this proportion represented an enrichment compared to the rest of the genome (hypergeometric p -value < 6 × 10 -6after Bonferroni correction for multiple testing).

  • We first used the hypergeometric distribution to calculate the probability of observing each GO term as enriched in each group, on the basis of the number of genes in the group, the number of genes in that group that are annotated with that GO term, and the number of genes in the genome that are annotated with that GO term.
