Since late 1996, the Ocean Color Temperature Sensor (OCTS), the Polarization Detection Environmental Radiometer POLDERR), the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS), and the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) have provided a nearly continuous record of biological processes in this region for the first time.
D and NL show many similar molecular functions and biological processes in this study, although they also differ with respect to which genes are differentially expressed.
Among the most overrepresented biological processes in this set of genes are those implicated in oxidative phosphorylation, apoptosis, immunity and defense, and cell cycle, structure and motility.
Since some functional modules represent general biological processes, in this study we have only focused on five functional modules: immune response, apoptosis mechanism, ion transport, protein secretion, and hemostasis-related process.
A systematic effort to isolate large numbers of TS-EL mutations in C. elegans should provide a valuable resource for the detailed investigation of many different biological processes in this model organism.
Based on GO analysis using Panther tools [21], the over-represented GO biological processes in this dataset include immune response, response to stimulus, signaling and blood coagulation, which agrees with the our results obtained previously [4].
The genes known to underlie hereditary spastic paraplegia seem to encode molecules with a diverse range of cellular functions, implicating numerous defective biological processes in the pathogenesis of this disease (Blackstone et al., 2011).
The relative transcript abundances of the cellular (GO 0009987; 31.27%) and metabolic processes (GO 0008152; 26.68 %) were found to be higher, in comparison to other biological processes in the total transcriptome, and this pattern was similar for VR group and its PDR and PSR subgroups.
AMFR is a candidate oncogene that promotes metastasis [17] and a key gene in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation, which was identified as a race/ethnicity-related biological process in this study.
Interestingly, however, phagocytosis was also found to be an important biological process in this cell population.
