Initial studies investigated competence based on external criteria of adaptation, such as social, academic and behavioral competence, expected for a given age and a given culture [ 16].
It is believed that the relative ratios between Sp factors, post-translational modifications or specific interactions with other transcription factors modulate the transcriptional competence of Sp factors at a given promoter in a cell- or signal-specific manner [53], [54].

We define reservoir competence as the mean percentage of ticks infected by any individual host of a given species.
Cultural competence is described as the ability to understand the attitudes, beliefs, and values of a given culture (22).
Given these criteria, we believe that students demonstrating this level of competence should be given a grade of "A" in the course.
