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

In addition, the synthesis of redundant probe sets (for example, two 70-mers per gene) might be warranted to help decrease false negatives by an order of magnitude.
Because it is hard to calculate the number of false negatives, which are functionally dependent genes or gene clusters that do not show a common coevolution pattern, we did not compare the sensitivities of these methods.
Assume that we can, for every combination of values of the significance level α and the fudge constant S 0 , calculate ( FP, FN ). The goodness criterion is then formulated in terms of the distance of the points ( FP, FN ) to the origin (which point corresponds to no false positives and no false negatives, see Figure 2), which in mathematical symbols may be put as
Densitometry of the bands was performed on the negatives (Personal Densitometer; Molecular Dynamics, Sunnyvale, California) with Image Quant software's 'area quantitation' paradigm.
The idea is to jointly minimize the number of genes that are falsely declared positive and the number of genes falsely declared negative by optimizing over a range of values of the significance level a and the fudge constant S 0 . How well this is achieved can be judged by a receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve, which displays the number of false positives against the number of false negatives expressed as proportions of the total number of genes.
