We hypothesized that there is a threshold cervical length measured by transabdominal ultrasound above which risk for short transvaginal cervical length is extremely low.
The most probable complete or longest partial ORFs were selected using a threshold length of 100 bp.
There was a threshold in the length of colorectum that was irradiated before obstruction was demonstrated, a threshold that was greater in the C3H mice [ 23].
Although experimental measurements of telomere length are significantly longer, they include a threshold length below which telomeres cannot shorten.
Short runs of consecutive SNPs demonstrating no CH occur by chance in unrelated individuals but runs of no CH exceeding a threshold length are indicative of IBD inheritance.
Once a threshold length has been reached, DNA slippage becomes active, whereas the role of point mutations becomes negligible (Messier et al. 1996; Rose and Falush 1998).
If we assume that replication errors increase proportionately with an increase in repeat number, a plateau of A/T and G/C loci suggest that there may be a length threshold for differential repair activity, length-dependent counter mutation, or selection.
Additionally, as TRF is based on hybridisation the shorter the telomere the lower the hybridisation signal, consequently there is a telomere length threshold below which TRF analysis will not detect telomeric DNA.
When they reach what's called their threshold length, cells stop dividing, become senescent, and eventually die.
Due to physical layer delays, these jammers are effective in jamming the fraction of packets that are greater than a certain threshold length.
