That really is the threshold that any of the efforts to track and monitor our biological patterns will have to reach before they become indispensable.
These tools facilitate the identification of meaningful biological patterns in a list of query genes.
GO and KO analyses are useful for identifying biological patterns in a list of genes, microarray datasets, or cDNA collection.
Examining the world in the context of evolution is central to understanding the biological patterns and complexity found in nature.
Even so, making inferences from a single exemplary model to general biological patterns has been cause for worry.
Yet "we certainly can't take it for granted that biological patterns in mice can be extrapolated to humans".
Porter explained that this approach avoids the circularity associated with using fossils to correlate rocks, then using those correlations to infer biological patterns.
Biological patterns that would otherwise seem puzzlingly contingent are suddenly brought together and made understandable once evolutionary history is taken into account.
According to Bolker, exemplary models are "representatives of a broader group" and the goal of using them is "to elucidate fundamental or general biological patterns and mechanisms" (487).
Data were analyzed for three ecoregions (Duluth-Superior, Apostle Islands, and the open lake) differing in bathymetry and limnological and biological patterns.
Direct applications of this partition include its use as support for designing sampling strategies, ocean modelling, interpreting environmental and biological patterns, and ecosystem-based management.
