Metcalf first showed that she could use microbes, combined with a statistical model, to pinpoint the time of death of mice to within 3 days, even weeks after death.
The truth is likely a mix of those two, combined with this: even with pinpoint control, Hughes's pitches, themselves, are not particularly impressive.
But the new thinking about what's causing autism, combined with the pinpoint-precision brain experimentation that optogenetics makes possible, may speed the cure for a disease that, today, has none at all.
A model created by theorist Eugenio Rivera of UC Santa Cruz, combined with more observations, pinpointed the new world's small orbit and its mass.
The complex climatic features of Mount Kenya, combined with the lack of observational data, has made it difficult to pinpoint an exact cause of Lewis Glacier's retreat.
Their analysis combined with the positioning on the genome of additional genes should allow us to pinpoint whether adaptation at the metabolic level has contributed to shaping the organisation of the gene space.
This, combined with characteristics of the radio emission, allowed the researchers to pinpoint the age of the supernova remnant.
Analysis of Mps1 using phospho-specific antibodies or other means, combined with thorough functional analysis of single point mutants is needed to pinpoint functionally relevant phosphorylations on Mps1 and distinguish actual in vivo sites from mass spec artifacts.
The data from these is combined with that from a conventional GPS unit to pinpoint a location of a car to within 2m in cities.
Combined with molecular information from DNA samples, it allowed the scientists to pinpoint the likely start of the story of placental mammals.
Additional mutants, combined with the information from the fly's newly completed genome, should help scientists pinpoint other proteins that play a role in the disease, she says.
