One remarkable thing is that our method works quite well for a very small fraction of training set such as 20% for both abundance estimation and function assignment, and this fact implies that highly interconnected relationship among proteins via complex membership greatly helps us to correctly assign functions.
These are controlled in part physiologically – the abundance and function of our taste buds differ, making us more or less sensitive to tastes – but over time we also get used to certain levels of, say, sweetness and saltiness.
However, the abundance and function of the diatom film is not homogenously distributed.
Concordance was observed between the gut and oral microbiomes, suggesting overlap in the abundance and function of species at different body sites.
This study determined whether human chondrocytes express the InsR and compared its abundance and function in normal and osteoarthritis (OA) human chondrocytes.
On the other hand, some inverse changes in mitochondrial abundance and function are observed during the reprogramming of somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
Due to the presence of Mollicutes on both healthy and unhealthy humans, and its possible pathogenicity for hosts (Eckburg et al. 2005; Ley et al. 2006; Novy et al. 2009; Palmer et al. 2007; TaylorRobinson 1996; Turnbaugh et al. 2008), the higher relative abundance and function of Tenericutes in wild sika deer should be paid more attention.
Soil carbon (C) plays a central role in the global biogeochemical cycles of most major nutrients, but the degree to which the quality versus quantity of C controls microbial abundance and function across land uses is still somewhat uncertain.
The use of animal-regenerated nitrogen for chemolithotrophy by marine microbes has been relatively ignored in these well-studied rocky shores; arguably, their abundance and function is probably better understood in the open ocean [12],[13] and deep sea environs [14].
In fact, both maternal undernutrition and overnutrition can result in the long-term programming of adipose tissue abundance and function [ 27, 28].
