That is, a full match unambiguously represents a true biological assignment to a particular family/experimental group.
In this work we developed a new approach using a "first biological assignment" strategy and we implemented our method as a Cytoscape plugin, called FunMod.
Although this represents a promising approach, a recent meta-analysis of six biological assignment trials of almost 1200 patients found outcome data to be inconsistent because of the various conditioning regimens used, and any improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) are frequently offset by the high allo SCT-associated TRM.
Among the biological process assignments, 54% of genes were assigned to "metabolic process", and 10% to "biosynthetic process".
The court accepted the federal government's argument that the prohibition on sex discrimination in Titles VII and IX of the Civil Rights Act includes discrimination on the basis of gender identity, and that "biological" bathroom assignments are just this sort of discrimination.
The results of this study provided useful guidelines for the interpretation of TERS spectra of biological samples and assignment of marker bands for proteins to track their distribution in complex biological specimens.
DNA microarrays enable researchers to conduct large-scale quantitative experiments on gene expression, which can elucidate the mechanisms and the prediction of biological processes, the assignment of functions to previously un-annotated genes, the grouping of genes into functional pathways, and the prediction of the activities of new compounds [reviewed in [ 1]].
To assess whether our EST project was broadly representative of our expectations for the Sarcophaga transcriptome, we used the annotations for each of our contigs and singletons to assign it to one of 14 major GO categories for Biological Process, producing assignments for 9,468 out of a total 52,051 transcripts (Fig. 1).
Under the category of biological process, 4583 assignments (level 4) were made to cellular metabolism (23%), primary metabolism (21%), macromolecule metabolism (16%) and biosynthesis (9%).
On the basis of sequence homology, these 6,345 DEGs could be classified into three categories in GO assignments: biological process, cellular component and molecular function, and they embraced 22, 15 and 13 functional classifications, respectively.
Of these, 17,259 terms (assigned to 13,070 genes) are molecular function, 8,864 terms (7,111 gene assignments) are biological process, and 3,650 terms (3,257 gene assignments) describe cellular component.
