He recognized the potential significance of the find and made official inquiries that ultimately led to careful digs to unearth the full complement of material, which turned out to be more than five hundred reels of highly flammable nitrate film.
In what may be the first break in the entertainment writers' strike, David Letterman is pursuing a deal with the Writers Guild of America that would allow his late-night show on CBS to return to the air in early January with the usual complement of material from his writers, even if the strike is still continuing.
It involves taking the genetic material out of an unfertilized egg and inserting in its place an adult cell, which has a full complement of genetic material.
Rather, he said, it involves producing a seed from a starting cell that has a full complement of genetic material to pass on.
During cell division, in all cells but those of bacteria (and some ancestral protists), the chromosomes display an elegantly choreographed movement, separating so that each offspring of the original cell receives an equal complement of chromosomal material.
But the more closely that researchers examine the human genome -- the complement of genetic material encased in the heart of almost every cell of the body -- the more most of them are convinced that the standard labels used to distinguish people by "race" have little or no biological meaning.
A genome represents the entire complement of genetic material in a chromosome set, with a well-defined, fully sequenceable endpoint.
Genomics is the study of the entire complement of genetic material of an individual.
Changes leading to relative or absolute excess of long-arm material of chromosome 18 may confer survival advantage upon cells, particularly if a normal complement of short-arm material is simultaneously retained.
In their native form, or after tailoring by genetic engineering, enzymes can complement the traditional approaches of materials science by following Nature principles.
