Standards not that standard [PDF]
There is a general assent on the key role of standards in Synthetic Biology. In two consecutive letters to this journal, suggestions on the assembly methods for the Registry of standard biological parts have been described. We fully agree with those authors on the need of a more flexible building strategy and we highlight in the present work two major ...

Standards, Double Standards and No Standards [PDF]
The report by Kalichman et al. (2013) is interesting. Kalichman et al. (2013) mentioned an ‘‘awareness of the diversity of those standards.’’ Standards should be applicable and usable in all settings. If there are different standards, there might be a problem in the implementation of standards.

Standardizing the standards [PDF]
Mol Syst Biol. 2: 2006.0010 The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from. Andrew S Tannenbaum One of the most daunting aspects of using genomic technologies—including microarray, proteomic, metabolomic, and other approaches—is the sheer quantity of data that they produce.

Standards and standard-compliance [PDF]
The Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) was established in September 2005 at an international workshop in Cambridge, United Kingdom, which had and still has as its primary goal the creation of richer descriptions of our collections of genomes and metagenomes through the development of standards and tools for supporting compliance and exchange of ...

Standard deviations and standard errors [PDF]
The terms “standard error” and “standard deviation” are often confused.1 The contrast between these two terms reflects the important distinction between data description and inference, one that all researchers should appreciate. The standard deviation (often SD) is a measure of variability.

Standard Error as Standard? [PDF]
To the Editor: I am concerned about errors in simple statistical concepts in articles recently published in Circulation . First, I worry about the widespread use of the standard error of mean (SEM) to describe the variability of numerical data. Specifically, SEM was used in 30% of the clinical investigations and reports and in 76% of the basic science

High standards or a high standard of standardness?
This paper explores the difference between high standards and a high standard of standardness of professional service provision in teacher-librarianship. That is to say, it explores the difference between a demonstrated deep commitment to 21st century learning (high standards) and demonstrated compliance with a pre-determined checklist of skills and ...

The gold standard: not a golden standard [PDF]
Studies that evaluate a new diagnostic test, procedure, or method should do so by comparing it with a time honoured alternative that is considered to be the current standard in the field. In this context the meaning of the word standard is “authoritative or recognised exemplar of quality or correctness.” “Gold standard” is the popular term to describe ...
