COST Action CA15203 (2016-2021): MitoEAGLE
Evolution-Age-Gender-Lifestyle-Environment: mitochondrial fitness mapping
WG1 MitoEAGLE protocols, terminology, documentation
WG1 Action
- Standard operating procedures and user requirement document: Protocols, terminology, documentation
- Many analyses lack statistical power within a single study. Statistical combination of different studies is often difficult due to lack of methodological standardization and harmonization.

- Think less about a simple P value and more about the scientific importance of the confidence interval bounds for some experimental result. Even a convincing P value of 0.005 can be associated with a confidence interval whose bounds indicate an effect that is scientifically inconsequential.
- Rely on repeated studies to accumulate evidence for some biological phenomenon.
