The phrase "alive traits" is not standard or commonly used in written English.
It may be used in a specific context to describe characteristics or qualities that are vibrant, dynamic, or full of life, but it is not widely recognized.
Example: "The artist's work is filled with alive traits that capture the essence of nature."
Alternatives: "vibrant qualities" or "dynamic characteristics".
Significant effects of tank and pedigree on hours of survival (Table 2) and dead or alive traits (not shown) were detected.
Heritability of hours of survival and dead or alive traits were low (0.05 and 0.07 respectively) but significant (0.02 - 0.16 and 0.02 – 0.20 lower and upper 95% confidence intervals for the two traits respectively).
The genetic correlation between the hours of survival and dead or alive traits (0.79) was positive, high and significant (0.59 and 0.94 lower and upper 95% confidence intervals respectively).
A number of SNPs in contigs with homology to genes of known immune function were found to either be the SNPs, or map closely (within 5 cM distance) to SNPs, with suggestive (P <0.01 before Bonferroni correction) or significant (P <0.05 after Bonferroni correction) associations with hours of survival and/or dead or alive traits after challenge with A. hydrophila (Tables 4, 5 and 6).
The concordance between the findings for the hours of survival and dead or alive trait analyses was fairly high.
Of the SNPs with suggestive and significant associations with hour of mortality and alive or dead traits, several showed homology to genes of known immune function (Table 6).
In addition to these noteworthy SNPs, some regions containing SNPs showing suggestive or significant associations with hour of mortality and/or alive or dead traits also contained candidate genes of interest with respect to disease resistance (Table 6).
Twelve SNPs mapping to six linkage groups (6, 14, 18, 19, 20 and 23, and covering possibly seven distinct regions in total, showed significant associations with the trait dead or alive (P <0.05 after Bonferroni correction, Figures 1B, D and F and 2B, D and F).
Darwinian selection might have weeded out the weaker specimens, but the traits that kept them alive for years haven't disappeared.
But the bell ringers have always shared one trait: they were, well, alive.
Both the binary dead or alive and continuous hours of survival trait were used for linkage analysis.
