A third controversy that high-resolution mapping of Cse4 nucleosomes addressed was a recent assertion by two independent groups that yeast centromeres are not "point" centromeres as has been long assumed (Coffman et al. 2011; Lawrimore et al. 2011).
Larvacean Pax2/5/8 expression adds to a growing body of morphological and gene expression data that supports the origin of cranial placodes in early chordates, rather than in vertebrates, as had been long assumed [ 39, 48, 73, 93- 95], [ 100- 105], and strengthens the case for an early origin specifically of the otic or acousticolateralis placode.
The composer himself had a habit of constant revision, which is not necessarily a sign of insecurity, as biographers long assumed; rather, he may have seen his works as organisms in a state of flux.
The paper is part of a growing body of literature showing that creativity, rather than being an in-born trait as was long assumed, is more like a skill — something that can be learned and improved.
Thanks to a series of recent findings, the notion that plague remained in Europe for centuries after the Black Death, rather than arriving in repeated waves from Asia as historians long assumed, is gaining ground.
Nor is it as strongly influenced by culture as many have long assumed.
For example, the C. elegans epidermis did not express genes similar to those active in human skin, as researchers have long assumed.
If so, what does that say about whether the Iranian leadership has as good a hand on the throttle of Iran's nuclear research program as Washington has long assumed?
Seven sea turtles with solar-powered satellite transmitters attached to their backs have demonstrated that they do more than simply follow the ocean currents as biologists had long assumed, researchers reported at the meeting.
Dr. Walter Anthony's seminal discovery was that methane rose from lake bottoms not as diffuse leaks, as many scientists had long assumed, but in a handful of scattered, vigorous plumes, some of them capable of putting out many quarts of gas per day.
The United States has long assumed this role, as have a number of European countries.
