The two species also hybridise readily to produce fertile offspring known as Hyacinthoides × massartiana; the hybrids are intermediate between the parental species, forming a spectrum of variation which connects the two.
These differences very likely reflect a spectrum of variation in the nature of the immune and inflammatory attack that can occur in this disease [ 1].
Unlike SNPs, however, CNVs could be extremely multi-allelic (>3 segregating alleles), and may therefore contribute to continuous traits by causing a spectrum of variation in gene dosage [ 11].
So does his cast, which offers a spectrum of witty variations on theatrical fossils.
To attempt to translate a thought into Ithkuil requires investigating a spectrum of subtle variations in meaning that are not recorded in any natural language.
Since PCa phenotypes are probably determined by a spectrum of genetic variation (ranging from highly penetrant to low penetrant variations), with possible interdependencies of SNPs, GWAS studies are probably not sufficient to develop a full understanding of these variations in PCa.
These lines represent a spectrum of natural variation, except for recessive lethal variants, which were eliminated in the formation of the DGRP.
The emerging genetic architecture includes a spectrum of risk variation from rare mutations of large effect, to common risk variants of small effect [odds ratio (OR) <1.15] which collectively account for at least 25% of susceptibility (1– 3).
It is worth noting that mild impairments in language abilities and social communication are also observed as normal variation in the general population and are more frequent among relatives of autistic individuals [ 2], further supporting the concept that autism encompasses a spectrum of phenotypic variation.
A single signal comprising a spectrum of correlated variation was observed at 39 regions; 35 of which are now described by a novel more significantly associated lead SNP, while the originally reported variant remained as the lead SNP only in 4 regions.
