Abstract:Data contamination in meta-approaches where multiple biological samples are combined considerably affects the results of subsequent downstream analyses, such as differential abundance tests comparing multiple groups at a fixed time point. Little has been thoroughly investigated regarding the impact of the lurking variable of various batch sources, such as different days or different laboratories, in more complicated time series experimental designs, for instance, repeatedly measured longitudinal data and metad… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
