To avoid information loss, as many as possible patterns (or k-mers) should be considered.
The so-called Turing mechanism has been particularly influential, and has been suggested as a possible source of patterning in diverse developmental processes, such as hair follicle patterning in skin, pigmentation patterning in fish, and skeletal development in limbs [18], [19], [20].
In four of our five populations, we found a high excess of homozygosity; we cannot rule out null alleles as a possible driver of this pattern.
Theoretical models have long pointed to the dentate gyrus as a possible source of neuronal pattern separation.
As we might find a number of possible patterns, a degree of uncertainty emerges as either a number of candidate patterns for a single service or even for a set of similar services might exist.
Also, if we accept dispersal as a possible explanation for disjunct patterns, vicariance explanations would never be inferred (Platnick and Nelson 1978; Morrone and Crisci 1995).
We tested these genes as a possible validation of expression patterns observed in the transcriptomic datasets.
Epigenetic mechanisms have also been discussed as a possible background for interpretation patterns of the Rorschach ink blot test in evaluation of inborn and acquired psychic disorders, as discussed since 1978 (Peterson 1990; Rothman 1978).
This site was present in sequences from all the animals (except No. 223) and was equally distributed in different tissues, discarding glycosylation pattern as a possible explanation for compartmentalization.
Beginning around 1990, considerable attention has been focused on DNA ploidy pattern as a possible new prognostic factor, with tumours showing aneuploidy, associated with a poor prognosis, reported to show a better response to chemotherapy than those showing diploidy (Granone et al, 1993; Salvati et al, 1994; Kim et al, 1996).
