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

A limited number of studies have validated differences in gene expression found by cross-species microarray experiments [ 10 11 12 ] . Huang [ 11 ] successfully validated differential expression of 15 genes identified by cross-species (mouse on human microarray) hybridisation using reduced stringency.
Hybridization was performed at high stringency with the transcript-4 amplification product as probe.
We carefully examined the transcriptional responses for genes encoding these motility-related proteins to determine whether we might be overlooking interesting but subtle changes in expression levels as a result of the stringency of our statistical criteria (Figure 8, bottom).
Hybridization conditions and post-hybridization washes determine ISH assay stringency, i.e. the number of matched/mismatched sequences permitted between a probe and its target.
Because of the stringency of the BLAST criteria used, these numbers are possibly underestimates.
