Frequent regulatory patterns were defined as the regulatory interaction pairs significantly simultaneously occurred.
This has the appearance of a diauxie phenomenon, also named carbon catabolite repression (CCR) (Gorke and Stulke 2008), and defined as a regulatory phenomenon during which, in the presence of two carbon sources, gene expression and protein activity of the secondary carbon source are reduced.
A transcription factor is defined as a regulatory protein that binds to specific sequences in DNA and affects transcription of specific genes.
Each phenotype is defined as the regulatory steady state that is reached by a network in response to inputs from outside the network (environmental factors).
To lend support to this hypothesis, Takai and Jones (2004) [ 2] showed the exclusion of repetitive elements from bidirectional promoters of human chromosomes 20, 21, and 22. Bidirectional promoters were originally defined as the regulatory regions present in the intergenic space of two oppositely oriented genes whose transcription start sites (TSSs) were separated by no more than 1,000 bp [ 3].
According to the regulated direction, RE was defined as up-regulatory event (up-RE) or down-regulatory event (down-RE).
Perhaps surprisingly, few of the micro actions endorsed in this study were behaviours that would be defined as self-regulatory behaviours, which are often viewed as the key mechanisms through which planning interventions help translate intentions into behaviour [ 13, 23].
The aim of the study was to determine if the percentage of activated T cells (Tact, defined as CD4+CD25+FOXP3−) or regulatory T cells (Treg, defined as CD4+CD25+(high FOXP3+CD127dim) differed with schistosome infection intensity.
Epigenetics is broadly defined as the heritable, regulatory elements of a genome exclusive of its primary DNA sequence.
A microRNA (miRNA) is defined as a small regulatory RNA molecule that consists of non-coding small RNA of about 22 nucleotides in length.
