This is a pretty neat story and an interesting thing that few of us know. It’s brief, so please read. (FROM A DOCTOR) A couple of days ago I was running (I use that term very loosely) on my treadmill, watching a DVD sermon by Loui... (original story)

Now we come to the third part of our trifecta; in the last two posts I have gone over p-values and how they determine significance in null hypothesis testing, and we talked about degrees of freedom and their effect on the p-value. Finally, we come to pseudoreplication: where it can all go terribly w... (original story)

In the previous article in this series, we covered teamwork and networking. Now it’s time to move on to what many people consider the most boring part of the lab work: the analysis. I know we all wish that a simple histogram or a rather nice-looking Western blot or PCR would suffice. But the fact ... (original story)

In the last post I talked about p-values and how we define significance in null hypothesis testing. P-values are inherently linked to degrees of freedom; a lack of knowledge about degrees of freedom invariably leads to poor experimental design, mistaken statistical tests and awkward questions from p...

In previous articles, I’ve primed you on hypothesis testing and how we are forced to choose between minimising either Type I or Type II errors. In the world of the null hypothesis fetish, the p-value (p) is the most revered number. It may also be the least understood. The p-value is the probabilit... (original story)

Definition: Bacteria are unicellular (single-celled) organisms that have no true nucleus. They are extremely small, and measure not more than 0.01 millimetres in length. All bacterial cells multiply through the process of binary fission. Here’s an image of a typical bacteria: Bacteria Cell (NO... (original story)

Microarrays are one of the most in-depth ways of determining cellular gene expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously. They are able to help determine: Gene function and cellular processes Gene regulation and interactions Gene expression levels in different cell types and how this ex... (original story)
