The results consistently indicated that the relative- P ij of foreign plants decreased as the altitudinal distance between their site of origin and the site of planting increased, irrespective of the direction, indicating the existence of a significant home-site advantage.
This supports the home-site advantage hypothesis that the fitness-linked traits for the foreign population declined relative to the local population as the environmental distance between the site of origin and that of transplanted increases (Galloway and Fenster 2000; Montalvo and Ellstrand 2000).
These infections comprise a markedly heterogeneous group of infectious processes that share an anatomical site of origin between the diaphragm and the pelvis.
To determine if there are significant discrepancies between registry and referral pathologists, Piver et al (2000) reviewed slides from a large cancer registry and found a 95.3% complete agreement between pathologists on the disease site of origin.
In multiple adult cell types microarray analyses found a correlation between HOX gene expression and anatomic site of origin [ 6, 7].
Nevertheless, there was no noticeable relationship between mean annual temperature at the site of origin versus biomass, MGR, MSR, or relative spore production.
This similarity is also reflected at the gene expression level, both between the primary tumor and the site of origin (Khan et al., 2001; Ross et al., 2000), and between the primary and metastatic tumor (D'Arrigo et al., 2005; Weigelt et al., 2003).
Here we compared gene expression between sample halves grouped based on their site of origin.
ISOLATE differs from LDA in that it explicitly models the similarities in expression profile between the cancer cell population and the site of origin by representing the homogeneous cancer expression profile as a sparsely perturbed version of the profile of its site of origin.
Conversely, the productivity of the downslope transplants decreased constantly in line with the altitudinal distance between the local site and the transplant's site of origin, independently of the trees' ages.
