Today's focus: negative controls. In life-science experiments, negative controls play critical roles. In my view, they are more important than the positive controls! They form such a rich topic that we will spend at least a few episodes on discussing them. Today, we introduce basic aspects: 1) what the negative controls do in life-science experiments, 2) our practical definition by modifying the typical and ideal one, 3) how the negative control was used in our milestone graph (Fig. 3D of milestone article 1 by the Laureates of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2023), and 4) two critical assumptions for negative controls to work properly.
This is Part 11 of the reading mini-series "Let’s read a paper written by Nobel Prize Laureates, 2023."
