Carbon-14 dating has been instrumental in mapping human history over the last several tens of thousands of years.
While gene expression studies have been instrumental in mapping behaviour into specific physiological processes, progress is hampered by the lack of more specific information about the cell types and anatomical substructures directly involved in patterns of gene co-expression.
Similarly, stimulation of defined neural populations has been instrumental in mapping functional connections, as well as probing the roles of perception in behaving animals, from fly to primate [4], [5].
This multi-species approach has been instrumental in mapping changes in Ubx expression and function across the entire phylogeny of the group, and associated these changes with the ecological transition to the nearshore water interface and to the open-water surface.
We envisage that this resource will be instrumental in resolving previously ambiguous genetic mapping data.
The map will also be instrumental in assembling the ongoing D. magna genome project.
Their input was instrumental in making these decisions.
Analysis of the zenk gene in particular has been instrumental in the mapping of brain circuits involved in the perceptual processing, learning and production of birdsong [ 4], and has yielded much information about the internal organization of these brain areas.
For this reason, mutants have been instrumental in dissecting assembly pathways, mapping nearest neighbour interactions and determining complex stability [ 3, 34, 42, 43, 49, 51, 59, 66, 67, 78, 80– 80].
Map Maker was already available in Poland and Romania before, and Google notes that the volunteer mapping communities there were instrumental in getting the base maps for these countries online.
