Clusters of fish-mouthed, goggle-eyed faces gawping out of windows at an unexpected blizzard is cute if you're passing a primary school.
AS the lakes of the Midwest, Northeast and Canada freeze, clusters of fishing shacks appear, forming villages above the best wintertime fishing spots — despite the cracking, moaning and eerie warbling of the thickening but unstable skin of ice.
They showed that if the number of fish in a cluster of fish is known, their positions and other parameters can be estimated by matching all of the combinations of the possible parameters.
The detection of fish, i.e., counting their number and estimating their positions and directions, in a cluster of fish such as that shown in Fig. 1 a is difficult, even manually.
We quantified magnitudes and patterns of weekly mortalities of transported fish, and used cross-classified random-effect modeling to explore variation and clustering of fish mortality claims at wholesale destinations.
In addition to the clustering of fish and mammalian zonadhesin, both phylogenetic trees suggest an evolutionary relationship among the zonadhesin-like genes.
In this tree, proteins from different fish species designated as "Abcb4", "Abcb1", "Mdr1" or "P-glycoprotein" group to a cluster of fish P-glycoproteins that show close relationship with tetrapod ABCB1 and ABCB4.
Thus the genome context of the platypus β-globin cluster is the same as in therian mammals and birds, but this is different from the α-β cluster of fish and frogs.
The locations of multiple ORG genes, RRM1, CCKBR and ILK were found to be conserved adjacent to β-globin cluster of birds and mammals [ 60, 61], but not for the α-β cluster of fish and frogs, nor beside the second α-β cluster of zebrafish and pufferfish.
Thus the flanking loci analyses reveal that the genome context of the platypus α-globin cluster is the same as the α-globin clusters in therian mammals and birds, and this is the same as for the α-β cluster of fish and frogs.
