This study highlights that this newly developed quantitative assay is not only sufficiently sensitive, specific and reliable to be functionally used in food control as a routine method of detection, but also promising in specific studies that seek to further characterize the dynamic of this yeast in some increasingly popular food processes.
Regardless of the biofuel target, ABPP is currently being used to functionally characterize microbes and microbial communities, and future prospects for this application are limitless.
Since synonymous substitutions are commonly assumed to be functionally neutral, they are often used to provide a window into variation of mutation rates.
However, some features of the epigenome appear to be more static than others: subsets of histone post-translational modifications (hPTMs) form combinatorial associations that are relatively stable and hence can be used to functionally annotate genomic elements [ 7, 8].
Three databases of Arabidopsis gene sets involved in the gene ontologies of biological processes, cellular components, and molecular functions were used to functionally annotate the metagenes.
We hypothesized that with a well-designed computational model, GEP data can be readily used to derive functionally relevant genetic abnormalities in tumor.
Given that mouse models of type 2 diabetes and obesity are reasonable models of the human disorders, mice can be used to functionally test the genes within a GWAS locus.
In conclusion, the tyrosinase gene of S. parasitica is required for melanin formation and transient gene silencing can be used to functionally characterize genes in S. parasitica.
The nsSNPs within the genes were filtered using ANNOVAR tool [ 23] that can be used to functionally annotate a list of genetic variants including intronic, exonic, intergenic, 5'/3'-UTR, splicing site and upstream/downstream variants.
Finally, several tools and databases can be used to functionally interpret the modules, to analyze what biological functions and pathways are enriched within the modules or to find whether the module could be associated with certain diseases.
