The whales were counted during a special 3-year project, known as Structure of Populations, Levels of Abundance and Status of Humpbacks (SPLASH), which was launched in 2004.
Similar photographic identification projects have begun in the North Pacific by Structure of Populations, Levels of Abundance and Status of Humpbacks, and around the world.
The regulon-based methodology assumes that the expressions of target genes vary with the activity of their regulator, which does not have to be determined solely by its transcript levels but can be a combination of latent factors including abundance, modification status, interaction with low molecular weight effectors or other proteins.
Differential cellular abundance by treatment status was tested by Wilcoxon Rank Sum test on linear data.
Ponsard et al. [16] noted a moderate reduction in longevity of Geocoris punctipes and Orius tristicolor when these predators fed on Cry1Ac intoxicated prey in the laboratory, and Gutierrez et al. [39] predicted that due to this effect we might see increased abundance and pest status in Lygus spp. and B. tabaci in Bt cotton.
Therefore, fecal bacterial communities were plotted against BLC to establish a correlation between microbial abundance and training status.
Based upon our findings, CREB abundance and phosphorylation status in neoplastic canine osteoblasts appears to be associated with apoptosis, in contrast to what is observed in normal osteoblasts.
These receptors may coexist in a given cell, with relative abundance and activation status varying by cell type, tissue type, and physiologic or pathologic conditions.
More recently, genome-wide analysis following The Cancer Genome Atlas [ 12], showed that changes in the expression levels of other small non-coding RNAs are also associated with cancer, with strong correlations between RNA abundance and disease status [ 13].
Also, the dynamic expression of miR-206, miR-26a and miR-214 throughout skeletal muscle development in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio), points to an active role of these miRNAs in the myogenic process [ 14]. miRNAs can also modulate protein abundance and/or phosphorylation status of key signaling components of the insulin pathway.
