However, due to a large degree of homology between the two proteins, with CXCR3-B having a 47 amino acid insert as the only area of dissimilarity to CXCR3-A [ 17], there are no publicly available antibodies which are subtype specific.
Similar problems are present utilizing mRNA quantification with qPCR, since the region surrounding the area of dissimilarity is poorly suited for primers or probes, and no reported [ 17, 18, 34, 35] or commercially available primer/probe set can reliably and with good efficiency quantify mRNA from CXCR3-A and not include false positives from CXCR3-B mRNA.
We did not find additional areas of dissimilarity between barcoded and non-barcoded libraries.
Many studies have analyzed marine biogeography around the South African coast, and each has recognized between two and five broad coastal biogeographic provinces, with some discrepancies regarding the naming of these areas, levels of dissimilarity between regions, region boundaries, and the recognition of overlap zones [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30].
Table 1 shows the segregation of blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Asians compared with whites from 1980 to 2000 for metropolitan areas, as measured with the index of dissimilarity (Logan 2003; U.S. Census Bureau 2003).
The measure used, the index of dissimilarity, evaluates how evenly two groups are distributed in relevant areas that make up a larger territory.
These results were compiled into an Index of Dissimilarity of 85.9 by researchers with Brown University and Florida State University, the highest score for a metropolitan area in the United States.
In contrast, hypervariable areas are the mass ranges rich in potential biomarker peaks and are delineated by the high level of dissimilarity from the PBS tracings.
Indices of dissimilarity – which measure the evenness of two groups (such as ethnic or occupational) in any given area – can be used to chart segregation.
Borrowing from a technique often used to measure racial segregation — an index of dissimilarity — Kolko compared Census data between 2000 and 2010 looking at the distribution of renters and owners across metropolitan areas.
Gay taste is something more singular, probably linked to incipient feelings of dissimilarity from one's peers.
