MCAT Question of the Day
    •

    Q:

    		 An important tool for computational biology is the assessment of prediction results. Consider a eukaryotic gene transcript whose introns have not yet been spliced out. A computational tool predicts the exons and introns, finding several of both. To assess the sensitivity of this method, i.e. the ability of the tool to correctly find the true positives that are actually present, which of the following equations would be most useful?
    		 

    A

    		 True Positives / (True Positives + False Negatives)

    B

    		 True Positives / (True Positives + False Positives)

    C

    		 True Positives / (True Negatives + False Negatives)

    D

    		 True Positives / (False Negatives + False Positives)
