For instance, RNA-Seq or ChIP-Seq analyses can thus be carried out on data from any arbitrary organism listed on either Ensembl (69 species as of release 76) or EnsemblGenomes (54 metazoa, 38 plants, 52 fungi, 32 protists, 15270 bacteria as of release 23).
Thus, the results depicted in Figure 6 are, at best, an estimate of variation within recognised, though necessarily arbitrary, groups of organisms.
The toolkit allows many different definitions of the homology graph: it can be generated from arbitrary subsets of organisms in the database with arbitrary cutoffs and inflation parameters (clustering sensitivity), and three scoring metrics that emphasize different aspects of the protein pair homology (Additional file 3) [ 31, 39, 40].
Taxonomists ranked organisms in arbitrary systems according to perceived differences or importances; thus, humans could be separated from (other) apes into a different sub-family, family or even order.
The genomic signatures can be used to phylogenetically classify organisms from arbitrary sampled DNA.
On an individual organisms basis, arbitrary numbers of genes were sampled from to provide some indication of the significance of the differences seen in figure 4.
Within the network of each organism, an arbitrary but identical number of gene connectivities falling into the TP and FN class were randomly selected and their means compared.
Since organs form in a special phase of the lifecycle of organisms, it is arbitrary where one places the beginning of the cycle - the zygote is one autocatalytic seed and the organism with all its organs is another one - ultimately it is the whole lifecycle that is reproduced.
The latter lacks specificity, since many genes in genomic islands may have little to do with host interactions, and the definition of rules for the distribution across organisms can be arbitrary.
"Genetically Modified Organism" is an arbitrary term.
"GMO," for "genetically modified organism," is an arbitrary term for products of genetic engineering, which is part of a seamless continuum of breeding techniques used to create conventional and organic varieties--all of which unnaturally alter an organism's genetic makeup.
