During the same period, cells distant from the wound edge show no change in length (Fig. 2B), although it has been shown that over a longer time course of several hours, junction shrinking does contribute to alignment of denticle field cells into the parallel arrays seen in stage 14 epidermis (Simone and DiNardo, 2010).
Even when none of the resources mentioned above are used in the alignment set-up a few simple heuristics are still applied, such as a cognate test (where similar strings are rewarded) and a strategy that the same parts-of-speech category in both the source and target candidate contribute to alignment preferences.
Sequencing errors, choice in alignment algorithm, and choice in reference genome used, all have the potential of contributing to alignment artifacts.
HO devised the bioinformatics strategy, contributed to alignment and expression analyses and carried out the investigations of CCD8, NAC and cyanobacterial RCCR-like sequences.
EHD flow might also contribute to this alignment.
To contribute to that alignment, this paper first of all presents our generic responsibility model built on the concepts of Accountability, Capability and Commitment and combines that model with the CIMOSA framework.
Environmentally induced plasticity in mate preferences could also contribute to an alignment of natural and sexual selection if the changes cause females to prefer locally adapted males as mates.
The World Health Organization's Global Reference List of 100 Core Health Indicators aims to contribute to greater alignment between countries on the reporting of health trends (WHO 2015).
Dynamic capabilities also contribute to the alignment of production plans with customer needs (and willingness to pay) by activities that can be summarized as "sensing, seizing, and transforming" (Teece 2007, 2014).
One factor that could contribute to asymmetrical alignment is differential affinity between each clone's TCR and cognate antigen.
Polar ejection forces contribute to chromosome alignment by pushing chromatin away from the spindle poles during prometaphase (Magidson et al., 2011).
