The Hsf gene family has, so far, been fully characterised only in a few model species, such as Arabidopsis, rice, maize, wheat and Chinese cabbage [ 8, 20, 39– 41].
Of 19 mRNA isoforms that were characterised, only few are protein coding and likely to affect tumorigenesis; all of these have been reported previously by us and others (Supplementary Figure 1).
On the contrary, the stage classifier is characterised by only a few regions with most of them involving large portions of chromosomes.
We consider it has the potential to be easily translatable to the clinic, where tumour cycling hypoxia is still poorly characterised, with only a few published studies to date (Pigott et al, 1996; Nehmeh et al, 2008).
Despite the enhanced potential and effort put in characterising molecular properties of allergens, only a few studies have aimed at understanding the differences between the allergenic IgE and immunogenic IgG epitopes of the allergens.
From a biological point of view, only a few studies have characterised the function of miR-30e* in cancer.
Our study provides one of only a few studies that formally characterises the form and intensity of sexual selection acting on cuticular hydrocarbons.
Plant RSs are generally poorly characterised and putative gene sequences have been reported for only a few plants, including pea, cucumber, maize, grape, rice and Arabidopsis [ 6].
Furthermore, only a few studies have attempted to characterise the expression of individual CYP isozymes using immunohistochemistry (Kumarakulasingham et al, 2005; Androutsopoulos et al, 2013).
While Liverpol's 11-match winning streak that took them to the summit of the table only a few weeks ago will stick in the memory, errors characterised the season's end and eventually cost Liverpool the title.
