LBW is a consequence of reduced length of gestation and/or restricted fetal growth in utero (Kramer 2003).
In cancer, as in hereditary disease, a longer coding sequence is more susceptible to the acquisition of point mutations solely as a consequence of its length, and hence is more likely to produce a dysfunctional gene product.
As a consequence of the length-dependent classification performance, the varying accuracy of taxonomic profiling methods particularly complicates the comparison of metagenomes.
To elucidate the mechanistic details of telomerase regulation we engineered specific chromosome ends in yeast so that a single telomere could be suddenly shortened and, as a consequence of its reduced length, elongated by telomerase.
This implies that the increased number of miRNA families targeting 3′ UTRs is not solely a consequence of 3′ UTR length.
Author response: The incomplete branching resolution (resulting in K being the parent of L) observed in the given example is not a shortcoming of the method itself, but a consequence of insufficient sequence length analyzed (i.e. insufficient sample size).
These findings were not wholly a consequence of non-STR length differences between chimpanzee and human PCR amplicons (P > 0.212, Wilcoxon signed-rank test), suggesting that chimpanzee microsatellites contain fewer repeats than their human orthologs on average.
This can be achieved by determining the highest signal in a peak pattern that a singular (non-repetitive) nucleotide (here referred to as "LH marker") produces as a consequence of the different length variants present in a sample, e.g. at positions 16196G, 316G or 577G.
Because of this symmetry our later results are not a consequence of the distribution of length of segments.
