relating to or involving the processes of thinking and reasoning
Example: The Han Chinese cognitively healthy samples were also removed from the analysis to avoid confounding the effect of ethnicity.

control group
noun
A control group in a scientific experiment is a group separated from the rest of the experiment, where the independent variable being tested cannot influence the results.
Example: we found all SNPs having nominally significant differential association with a certain number of lipid species between AD and control group.

Gene
noun
The basic unit of heredity passed from parent to child. Genes are made up of sequences of DNA and are arranged, one after another, at specific locations on chromosomes in the nucleus of cells.
Example: We further explored the association of AD-associated genes (n = 19) derived from the list of 33 SNPs with lipids in each lipid class.

Species
noun
A Kind of a whole or a thing
Example: Using a combination of normal phase and reverse phase LC-MS approaches, we analyzed 26 different lipid subclasses including lysophospholipids, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, glycerolipids, and sterols, covering over 300 lipid species.

transgenic
adjective
relating to or denoting an organism that contains genetic material into which DNA from an unrelated organism has been artificially introduced.
Example: These data are in contrast to the specific increase of PA 34:2 seen in a different strain of Swedish APP transgenic mice that were also older in age.
