As the familiarity with the technology, and the technology itself, improved, the scope of projects became more ambitious.
We would like to thank our associate editor and two anonymous reviewers for comments that substantially improved the scope of the manuscript.
Improved rational design efforts coupled with directed evolution should dramatically improve the scope of de novo enzyme design.
Such re-design yields the additional benefit of improving the scope of data under investigation.
We predict new functional annotations for many human genes, showing that the integration of different data sets and coexpression measures significantly improves the scope of the results.
There is also room to improve the scope of the quantitative assays.
In order to improve the scope of evidence on financial-incentive programs for return of service in underserved areas, future studies should evaluate programs from a more diverse set of countries, in particular in the developing world.
As with any software tool, one of our aims in developing this new version of InterVA was to improve the scope of the tool and address known shortcomings of the previous version.
In order to improve the scope of the existing evidence, financial-incentive programmes in developing countries should collect quantitative and qualitative data on their experiences and outcomes and publish them.
In fact, the integration of the high-density SNP markers identified within the QTL introgression regions and of the genomic information gathered on the architecture of these NILs will greatly improve the scope of future experimental programs aimed at the fine mapping and isolation of major heterotic QTL, a crucial step towards the understanding of the molecular bases of heterosis in maize.
In this study, the proportions of pregnant women with ANC visits who had either their height or their fundal height measured were low, and the proportion of deliveries done by caesarean section was very low, both an indication that there is a substantial scope of improving the quality of antenatal and childbirth services in rural areas of Burkina Faso.
