More recently, genome-wide analyses were performed to compare distances between orthologous gene pairs from these two ascidian species with those of vertebrates (Berná et al. 2009).
At the very least, the metric should be able to compare distances between genes diverging in the same lineage, as these have diverged within the same organismic contexts (e.g, mutation rates and generation times).
As an evaluation metrics, we used a point process distance that is used to compare distance between spike trains (Victor and Purpura, 1997).
Although this finding is not sufficient to determine that the differences provide a robust metric for comparing distances between them.
Dyadic distances among dominants (avoidees) were smaller compared to distances among subordinates (avoiders) and compared to distances between subordinates (avoiders) and dominants (avoidees) (Fig. 5a).
We compared evolutionary distances between two representative conifer taxa, Sitka spruce and loblolly pine, and two representative angiosperm taxa, Arabidopsis and poplar (see Table 1).
From the investigations of Karlin et al [ 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 17] it is clear that delta-distances between 50 kb and larger windows show fluctuations that are small compared to distances between closely related species.
To test whether at mitotic onset old centrosomes capture kinetochores faster because they are closer, we compared the distances between kinetochores and old and young centrosomes at mitotic onset, but found no difference.
Compare distance between source and destination using the following code.
The slowing down of tumor growth has the intended effect of decreasing within-half distance compared to between-half distance.
