Although our mutant analysis did not reveal any increase in susceptibility to infection or in bacterial persistence in PGRP-SBΔ5 flies, it is expected that the removal of one out of many effectors would not induce a major immune deficiency, due to redundancy or synergy.
Discrepancies between strong effect of biochemical inhibitors and single gene deficiency may reflect redundancy between purinergic receptors or multiple purinergic receptors signaling.
Other important deficiencies of the current Intensive sessions are the limited number of observations (20 40) and the lack of redundancy of the observations.
Absence of the p27-related protein p21 also produced AP+ colonies and further increased the number of AP+ colonies when combined with p27 deficiency, thus suggesting some degree of functional redundancy between p27 and p21.
Treatment in CM is a process of regulating and re-establishing the balance of Yin and Yang through reducing the redundancy of Yin or Yang and reinforcing the deficiency of Yin or Yang [ 3].
The results obtained from this study provide new insights into the evolutionary expansion, functional divergence and genetic redundancy of the Pht1 genes in response to Pi deficiency and mycorrhizal symbiosis in tomato.
Nevertheless, the redundancy introduced by the code leads to rank deficiencies in some matrices R l. Henceforth, the rank behaviors of R l allow us to detect the code and to identify its parameters, in particular the code word length.
Despite its high levels in the thymus, DGK α deficiency causes no obvious alterations in T-cell development, probably because of redundancy with other isoforms.
In agreement with functional redundancy of NPAS2 and CLOCK [ 20, 27], only double deficiency of CLOCK and NPAS2 in mice results in arthropathy [ 28](E.A. Yu and D.R. Weaver, personal communication) similar to arthropathy developed upon BMAL1 deficiency [ 10] CLOCK is the major interacting partner of BMAL1 [ 12].
In 2006, Lee et al.[9] and Wang et al.[10] highlighted some deficiencies in the IEEE 802.16 standard scanning process related to existing redundancy.
To clarify such a functional redundancy and sharing between DEADSouth and VASA/DDX4, rescue experiments from vasa deficiency by the DEADSouth gene would be required.
