I think it's perfectly okay to look at subsets of cells (or whatever), but any resulting publications have to be specific about the selection criteria and give the appropriate numbers and information.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1923282658637824205.post-6010421031072957062012-10-04T14:18:19.374-07:002012-10-04T14:18:19.374-07:00As someone who works with animal models, I both ge...As someone who works with animal models, I both get what your saying and want to defend the fact that sometimes you just can't get the experiments because the animals go 'off'. for instance we recently had our animal breeding facilities moved into an all new center...that was still in the final stages of construction and poof suddenly you can't replicate results any more. The animals were too stressed out by the move and the noise, breeding pairs stopped breeding and results got funky for a while for many people (myself included) because of the stress. And what can you do? keep testing and throwing aside the funky data until hopefully things normalize themselves (it's been a few months and things look good again, the animals are all settled back in)<br /><br />SaraSarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03267081304801606021noreply@blogger.com
