As outlined under "Construction of component maps" above, the distance-calculation algorithm was expected to generate negative distance estimates for some closely segregating bins, because of the statistical uncertainty inherent in the data.
The algorithm is insensitive to singletons, but can produce negative distance estimates for closely segregating bins because of the imprecision of recombination distance estimates for pairs of bins with missing calls.
Roman gladiatorial combats were, for example, history's most violent sport, but the closely supervised spectators, carefully segregated by social class and gender, rarely rioted.
We analyzed stable isotope ratios of C (13C/12C, δ13C) and N (15N/14N, δ15N) of host and ectoparasite tissues to investigate trophic structure in 4 co-occurring ectoparasites: three lice and one flea species, on two closely related and spatially segregated seabird hosts (Calonectris shearwaters).
The ability of the method to discriminate between strains of the same species, even within complex metagenomics samples, indicates the power of co-abundance to segregate closely related biological entities.
As these paralog/ortholog group genes are closely related and are clearly segregated from other fugu and zebrafish Pcdh paralog/ortholog group genes, we consider the whole group as one large paralog/ortholog group.
In the phylogenetic tree based on the translated AlkB amino acid sequences, all the Gordonia segregated clearly from other closely related genera.
In the phylogenetic tree based on the translated catA amino acid sequences, all the Gordonia segregated clearly from other closely related genera.
The molecular weights obtained at high conversions agreed more closely with predictions based upon a locally segregated state than with those based on complete molecular mixing.
The interface strength and the extent of oxide spallation were closely related to the amount of sulfur segregated at the interface.
