Using the non-synonymous to synonymous substitutions analysis as a measure of potential functionality of pseudogenes, we showed that only one third of these genes had similar Ka/Ks ratios to functional genes, regardless of whether they are transcribed or not.
A subsidiary aim was to determine the potential functionality of released NPY by detecting the presence of NPY Y1 receptors in gingival tissue.
SNPs are distributed throughout the human genome in both coding and non-coding regions, but many methods used for analyzing mutations are equally valuable for evaluating the potential functionality of SNPs, which could be a valuable step towards the interpretation and utilization of GWAS data.
A search for such features was conducted in order to verify the potential functionality of the PPP1R2 pseudogenes.
The potential functionality of the ladder is also demonstrated by the radioactive source test.
This paper aims to apply statistical and comparative methods to characterize and establish the potential functionality of artifacts with little or, virtually, no modification, such as lithic weights which are used as a part of fishing lines or nets.
Although EVs have long been considered as disposal vehicles to eliminate unwanted proteins and biomolecules [11], in 2007, Valadi et al. identified miRNA as well as mRNA inside EVs and showed the potential functionality of these nucleic acids in recipient cells [12].
Of particular interest was that our mesostructured sensor design provided control over the retention of the potential functionality of the naked-eye sensing system of Sb III) ions upon the storage and even after several regeneration and reuse cycles, indicating large-scale reversibility of sensing systems.
Surveying the potential functionality of these proteins in E. superba, there are potential clues from the Insecta.
Moreover, MGMT is an inducible protein [33], [36], [37] and lack of immunoreactivity at time of diagnosis might not reflect the potential functionality of the protein.
